Psychiatrists are medical doctors who prescribe medication to manage psychiatric symptoms. They work along side your therapist and coach to help create a sustainable treatment plan. The psychiatry intake is 45-50 minutes long and each follow up session is 20 minutes long. Please note due to prescribing restrictions for telemedicine, our psychiatrists cannot prescribe controlled substances including stimulants, benzodiazepines, or opiates. If you have questions about your medication and if it is a controlled substance we encourage you to reach out to your primary doctor or send us a message caresupport@headspace.com.
