Conditions we treat

Anxiety treatment & medication

Our NHS-trained online GPs can assess symptoms of anxiety, including generalised anxiety, panic attacks and stress-related anxiety. During your phone or video appointment, the GP will discuss your symptoms, medical history and any treatments you’ve already tried.

  • Online assessment with an NHS-trained GP
  • Discussion of symptoms, triggers and previous treatments
  • Personalised treatment plan and next steps

If clinically appropriate, your GP may prescribe evidence-based anxiety medication such as SSRIs or beta-blockers. Prescriptions are sent instantly to your chosen UK pharmacy or delivered to your door.

Depression treatment & antidepressants

Our online GPs can assess symptoms of low mood and depression, from mild to moderate cases. We’ll discuss how long symptoms have been present, their impact on daily life and treatments you've tried before.

  • Assessment of mood and daily functioning
  • Review of previous treatments
  • Clear explanation of treatment options

Where appropriate, the GP can prescribe antidepressants such as SSRIs and arrange follow-up reviews. Prescriptions are sent instantly to your chosen pharmacy.

If you’re experiencing repeated panic attacks, our GPs can help you understand your triggers and create a personalised plan to manage them.

  • Assessment of symptoms and frequency
  • Personal coping strategies

Short-term medication such as beta-blockers may be considered where appropriate, alongside self-help and breathing techniques.
