It depends: Sorry for your loss. You have to be formally established in person with a psychiatrist who can start working on a diagnosis and treatment with you. Many now and once established may conduct visits remotely and further adjust meds as needed. Always remember that is not always that drugs are the solution to feeling sad or unhappy, time is the biggest healer specifically for grief.
