A 50-year-old male asked:

If a doctor instructs you to seek the help of a psychiatrist, do they mean to physically see a doctor in that field, or does heath tap provide those services via text, phone call, and email?????

See a doctor: If a healthtap physician advised you to seek the help of a psychiatrist, they meant to go out and physically seek the help of a psychiatrist. Someone local, who can see you and treat you.
