A member asked:
Are you able to prescribe medicines for mental illnesses? i.e. ocd, anxiety, mdd, adhd

No, not on Healthtap: but if you are having problems with your mood, discuss with your family doctor who may Rx or refer you to a psychiatrist. Medications definitely have a role in treatment, and I advise that you do not hesitate to seek help.

Yes, but not here: These conditions are often treated with prescription drugs.Some of which are closely monitored by the feds. Their use requires an in person evaluation including history, physical and testing as needed. A doc can lose their license if they skip any of these steps.
