Anxiety & depression guide

Anxiety and depression treatment online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for adults 18-64 with mild-to-moderate anxiety or depression who want to start a non-controlled SSRI (sertraline or escitalopram), or continue one they're already stable on. Care starts with the full standard depression and anxiety questionnaires. Severe symptoms — and any thoughts of self-harm — are always directed to 988 and in-person care, not treated online.

Reaching out for help with anxiety or depression is a real step, and you deserve support without stigma. For adults 18-64 with mild-to-moderate symptoms, an online visit can start an evidence-based, non-controlled SSRI (sertraline or escitalopram) or continue one you're already stable on. Your visit begins with the full standard depression and anxiety questionnaires — the same ones used in clinics — so treatment matches how you're actually doing. This lane is built with clear limits for your safety: if your answers show any thoughts of being better off dead or of self-harm, we don't prescribe online — instead we connect you right away with crisis support (call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741) and in-person care. Severe depression or anxiety, possible bipolar disorder, or psychosis are referred to psychiatry. And this lane never prescribes benzodiazepines (like Xanax or Ativan) or any controlled medication — those aren't offered here.

यदि उपचार उपयुक्त हो, तो चिकित्सक एक गैर-नियंत्रित दवा का नुस्खा आपकी फार्मेसी को भेज सकते हैं और पोर्टल के माध्यम से आपको निर्देश दे सकते हैं।

What if I'm having thoughts of harming myself?

Please reach out for help right now — you are not alone and support is available 24/7. Call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or text HOME to 741741 (the Crisis Text Line). If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. This lane does not prescribe when these thoughts are present; instead it connects you with crisis support and in-person care, which is the safest step.

How long until an SSRI works, and what side effects should I expect?

SSRIs usually take 2-6 weeks to reach their full effect, so it's important not to stop early. In the first week or two, some people feel a little more anxious, jittery, or have trouble sleeping — this is common and usually passes. SSRIs can also cause sexual side effects (lower desire or delayed orgasm), which are common and reversible; we'll counsel you honestly and can discuss options. Never stop an SSRI abruptly, since that can cause discontinuation symptoms — we taper if you ever stop.

Do you prescribe Xanax or other benzodiazepines for anxiety?

No. This lane and this entire platform never prescribe benzodiazepines (such as Xanax, Ativan, or Klonopin) or any controlled medication. For anxiety and depression, we use non-controlled SSRIs (sertraline or escitalopram) alongside the standard depression and anxiety assessments, which are effective and much safer for asynchronous online care.

Why does the questionnaire ask about mania and past hospitalizations?

SSRIs can trigger a manic episode in people with bipolar disorder, so we screen for any past manic or hypomanic episode, any prior mood stabilizer, and any psychiatric hospitalization. If that screen is positive, the safest step is an evaluation with a psychiatrist rather than starting an SSRI online.
