Who it is for

Who is online psychiatry right for?

It can help when you need clarity, continuity, or a careful care review but cannot easily travel for in-person care.

Not sure which professional

If you are weighing a psychiatrist against a psychologist before booking anything, the guide to psychiatrist vs psychologist in India sets out what each one does.

If attention is the difficulty

An adult ADHD assessment in Mumbai can begin online where that is clinically suitable, though some steps and some medicines still need an in-person appointment.

The first step is assessment. Search terms can point you here, but they cannot decide what kind of care you need.

The appointment

What happens in the appointment?

The appointment happens over secure video, and you can join from a private place using a phone, tablet, or laptop.

What you need with you

  • a private place to talk
  • stable internet, and a phone, tablet, or laptop
  • previous prescriptions and reports, if you have them
  • the medicines you are taking now

What the doctor asks about

  • your current concern and how it changed
  • sleep, appetite, energy, mood, attention, anxiety
  • substance use, medical history, previous care
  • safety, risk, family, work, and study context

What comes next

Any next step is discussed with you before it is settled. It may include follow-up, therapy, medication discussion, investigations, family input, or referral.

Medication

Medication and prescription boundaries

Online psychiatry does not mean automatic medication. A prescription is never promised before assessment.

What the decision rests on

Clinical assessment, safety, the overall picture, medical history, and the applicable telemedicine rules.

When in-person comes first

Some situations need an in-person evaluation before a medication decision, and some medicines are not appropriate to start or continue online without adequate information.

Weave explains this plainly rather than leaving you to find out at the end of an appointment.

Fees

What does an online consultation cost?

The fees are the same online as in the room, and they are published here so you do not have to ask before you can compare.
