Accessing quality psychiatric care is now easier than ever. Virtual psychiatry (also called telepsychiatry or online psychiatry) allows you to meet with a licensed psychiatrist from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

This guide will walk you through what to expect at your first virtual psychiatry appointment, so you can feel confident and prepared.

In our fast-paced world, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. Stress and anxiety are words we often use interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Understanding the difference can help you recognize what you’re experiencing — and when it might be time to seek help.

As a psychiatrist, I see patients every week who wonder: “Am I just stressed, or is this something more?” In this post, I’ll break down the key differences between stress and anxiety, how they show up in daily life, and what you can do about them.

Mental health care has come a long way, but for many people, the experience can still feel impersonal, rushed, or one-size-fits-all. Too often, patients leave appointments with more questions than answers — or with a treatment plan that doesn’t reflect who they are as a person.

As a psychiatrist, I believe that mental health care must be personalized to be truly effective. In a world that increasingly values convenience and speed, taking the time to understand the whole person has never been more important.

In this post, I’ll explain what personalized psychiatry means, why it matters now more than ever, and how it can lead to better, longer-lasting outcomes for people seeking help.
