Hi
I can evaluate and prescribe where legally & clinically appropriate.
· Telehealth rules vary – first‑time prescriptions for controlled substances often require an in‑person visit.
· Your profile: mild symptoms, no prior meds → a detailed discussion is the first step.
· Next: Let’s connect in a consultation to assess whether medication is needed or other approaches suit you best.

Hello, I understand your concern. Psychiatric medicines can not be prescribed by a chat consultation. You can be prescribed, but only after talking to you on a video chat or call. So kindly arrange one with a Psychiatrist/ Family Medicine specialist.
I am a family medicine specialist myself, but it’s non-ethical to prescribe on a chat. So, kindly arrange one on one consultation.
Feel free to reach out again.
Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, D.Fam.Medicine
Medicines can be prescribed, but I need to talk and have a session before anything.
Hello
I understand your question.
I’m not a psychiatrist on this platform and I cannot prescribe medication, and there isn’t a psychiatrist here who can directly issue prescriptions through this chat.
For medication related to Obsessive-compulsive disorder or other mental health concerns, you need to consult a licensed psychiatrist through a clinic
They can properly assess you and legally prescribe treatment.
If you want, I can guide you step-by-step on how to book and what to say during your consultation.
Hello I appreciate you sharing your experience with psychotherapy and your thoughts on SSRIs. However, It’s really important to consult a psychiatrist or a healthcare professional who can evaluate your specific situation and determine the best treatment plan for you.
Since you’re 17, it’s also essential to involve a parent or guardian in this process, as they can help you navigate the next steps. A psychiatrist can assess your symptoms, discuss your history, and decide if SSRIs or any other medication would be appropriate for you.
Thank you
While I am a general practitioner, not a psychiatrist, it’s important to highlight that prescribing psychiatric medication often requires a more specialized evaluation. Psychiatrists are trained to assess mental health conditions in detail and to consider all aspects of a patient’s psychological state before prescribing medication. Furthermore, most online platforms aren’t equipped to facilitate prescriptions for psychiatric medications directly. However, I can guide you on the general process. If you believe you need psychiatric medication, the first step would typically be a comprehensive evaluation by a psychiatrist, who can then determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you. They might suggest therapy, lifestyle adjustments, medication, or a combination of these. To connect with a psychiatrist, you might consider contacting your primary care physician for a referral or looking for telepsychiatry services, where licensed psychiatrists can provide consultations and potentially prescribe medications if deemed necessary. If you’re experiencing acute symptoms like severe mood changes, suicidal thoughts, or hallucinations, it’s crucial to seek immediate assistance at a local emergency department or crisis helpline. These situations can be urgent and require timely intervention. If your platform offers a directory or the ability to search for specialists, checking for available psychiatrists there can also be helpful.
I’m not a psychiatrist and I’m not able to prescribe medications through this platform. However, I can help guide you, answer questions, and suggest next steps for your situation. For prescriptions and proper evaluation, you should consult a licensed psychiatrist (in person or via a verified telemedicine service).
