Anxiety
Anxiety is a core telehealth mental-health category for men and women. Visits on services such as Hers, Hims, and Nurx are about medication management, not ongoing talk therapy. DoctorsHome describes that distinction. It does not prescribe and it is not a crisis line.
- Clinicians often discuss SSRIs or SNRIs when medication is appropriate.
- Benzodiazepines are controlled medicines and are not a casual online refill.
- If you might act on thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 or call 911.
If you are in crisis or thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. This page does not provide therapy or crisis care.
Medications people ask about
These are classes, not a recommendation. A clinician looks at other medicines, pregnancy, bipolar history, and age before considering any of them.
- SSRIs such as sertraline or escitalopram, when a clinician considers them
- SNRIs such as venlafaxine or duloxetine, in some plans
- Other non-controlled options a clinician may prefer over sedatives
What these visits are not
They are not therapy, not an emergency department, and not a place to get a controlled sedative quickly. Many telehealth brands say outright that they do not provide crisis care. This site does not provide clinical care of any kind.
