Should you tell your psychiatrist everything?

The success of psychotherapy depends on your willingness to disclose psychological information that is difficult to share, as this is the only way to get appropriate solutions and counseling that will save you from unpleasant and unwanted psychological problems and will also rid you of psychological symptoms that pose a danger to yourself or others, be confident that the psychiatrist will keep your psychological state confidential, and you can discuss privacy and confidentiality with your doctor at the first session to be more reassured.

Is it better to see a psychiatrist in person or online?

Recent research shows that obtaining an online psychiatry consultation gives the patient the same effectiveness and quality of care that he receives when meeting a doctor in person.

Essential tips for successful online psychotherapy

• Don’t lie to the doctor

You may be afraid to tell the truth to your online psychiatrist, but you should avoid lying or even telling half the truth. Even if you feel embarrassed to say the details, it will not serve you well, and you will not be able to get the appropriate treatment.

• Maintain the boundaries of the relationship with the doctor

Keep in mind that you and the psychiatrist cannot be friends. Maintain the boundaries of the relationship between you and do not develop friendships that make it difficult for you to discuss personal matters with him and do not enable you to obtain beneficial treatment.

• Do not rely on drug therapy

Don’t just tell your psychiatrist that you want a prescription. Although medications are very much needed for mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, medications are used in conjunction with psychotherapy sessions until you make significant progress.

• Avoid suspicions that the treatment is not working

Belief and conviction that obtaining psychiatry online consultation will not help your cause of treatment to fail and will not lead to really effective results. Instead, be open and express your concerns about psychotherapy, and allow the psychiatrist to help you.

• Don’t apologize for your feelings and thoughts

The purpose of psychiatry online consultations is to discuss the thoughts and feelings that cause the patient harm, so there is no need to apologize and regret a lot because the psychiatrist needs to know everything you think or feel, and he will not look at you rudely.
