What to Expect During a Consultation
Your first session is usually an assessment. The psychiatrist will ask about your history, current feelings, and any stressors. Be as honest as you feel comfortable; they are there to help, not to judge. They may discuss treatment options, which could include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
If medication is prescribed, you can order it directly through the platform. HealthTeky partners with trusted pharmacies to ensure you receive genuine medicines. You can also keep all your prescriptions and reports in one secure digital folder for easy reference later.
