Medications for Mental Health
Medications can play a vital role in a mental health treatment, especially when used alongside therapy and lifestyle support. At Affect, we understand that mental health disorders like depression and anxiety often involve changes in brain chemistry that can make it difficult to feel like yourself. In these cases, medications can help rebalance the brain’s systems and create the stability needed to make progress in other areas of life.
Our program combines evidence-based therapy, compassionate support, and psychiatry—all delivered through a convenient and private app experience. Whether you’re struggling with low mood, racing thoughts, intense worry, or difficulty concentrating or sleeping, our licensed psychiatric providers can evaluate your symptoms and work with you to find a medication plan that fits your needs. And because medication is just one part of the picture, we also offer coping tools, online community, and real-world support to help you build lasting change.
Our mental health and addiction care is covered by insurance. For 90% of our members, treatment is entirely free.
