When should I book a consultation with a psychiatrist?

Psychiatrists provide online consultations to support your mental and emotional well-being. A psychiatric consultation may be appropriate if you are experiencing:

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, or persistent low mood

  • Difficulty sleeping or managing stress

  • Emotional instability or irritability

  • Trouble concentrating or internal tension

  • Chronic fatigue with no clear physical cause

  • The need to adjust or continue existing treatment

These consultations are ideal for discussing symptoms, assessing your emotional health, or getting a professional opinion on the next steps.

Who provides psychiatric consultations?

All psychiatric consultations on Oladoctor are conducted by specialists with relevant clinical experience. You can filter available doctors by language, availability, and price. Each profile includes professional background and consultation duration. Learn more about online psychiatrist.

How long does the consultation last?

Psychiatric consultations typically last 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the doctor. You can view the exact duration in the doctor’s profile before booking.

What happens during the consultation?

The consultation takes place via secure video in your browser — no app installation is required.

During the session, the doctor will:

  • Review the reason for your consultation

  • Ask clarifying questions about your symptoms, history, or ongoing treatments

  • Offer clinical insights, answer your questions, and suggest possible next steps

  • If appropriate, discuss whether a prescription, referral, or documentation is suitable

This is a professional medical service. The doctor will assess your needs and guide you accordingly.

Can the psychiatrist issue a prescription?

Prescriptions are not guaranteed. They may only be issued if the doctor determines they are appropriate — based on your condition and the legal standards of the country you are located in.

If the doctor issues any documents, such as a prescription, referral, or medical note, you’ll receive them:

  • By email — shortly after the consultation

All documents are issued at the doctor’s discretion. If no documentation is needed, the consultation still provides clinical value and support.
