We specialize in treating

Anxiety

Anxiety is characterized by excessive worry, fears, or panic on most days, which may be accompanied by physical symptoms like muscle tension, chest pain, and shortness of breath. These symptoms may make it difficult to engage in daily activities.

Mild to moderately severe depression

Depression is a mood disorder that makes you feel sad or disinterested in the world around you. Normal sadness may come and go, but depression lasts for at least two weeks and includes additional symptoms. It can also interfere with your ability to function in everyday life.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a condition in which a person experiences uncontrollable recurring thoughts (obsessions) or engages in repetitive behaviors (compulsions)—or both. Symptoms of OCD can cause significant distress and interfere with daily life.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression marked by mood changes during the fall and winter months that interfere with daily life. Symptoms improve or disappear when the days get longer in the spring.

Insomnia

Insomnia is characterized by trouble with falling asleep or staying asleep through the night. Nurx providers treat both short-term insomnia (lasting a few days or weeks) and chronic insomnia (lasting at least three months).

Postpartum & Menopause Depression

After a woman gives birth, hormonal fluctuations and other factors may lead to depression and anxiety. The hormonal fluctuations that accompany menopause can lead to similar mood changes.

Common questions

  • How does anxiety and depression treatment with Nurx work?

    Whether you suspect you are experiencing depression or anxiety, or have been diagnosed with these conditions in the past, you can request treatment from Nurx any time through our website or app. You’ll answer a comprehensive set of questions similar to the medical consultation you would complete when starting treatment with an in-person mental health professional. Your answers to these questions will allow your Nurx medical provider to evaluate your symptoms, make a diagnosis and (if medically appropriate) create a treatment plan.

    Within a few days of submitting your request for treatment, a Nurx medical provider licensed in your state will send a message to your Nurx account to ask any follow up questions or propose a treatment plan. You’ll have the chance to share any information and ask any questions you’d like. Once your medical provider has prescribed treatment our pharmacy can fill your prescription and your medication will arrive in the mail.

    Your medical provider will follow up regularly to monitor how your medication is working, and adjust treatment as needed, and you can message them any time with questions or to request adjustments.

  • How much does anxiety and depression treatment with Nurx cost?

    Treatment through Nurx costs $59 for the initial consultation and $69 per month for ongoing medication management, which includes a licensed medical provider evaluating your intake assessment, creating and prescribing your treatment plan, and managing your medication needs on an ongoing basis.

    We bill insurance for your medication, and copays are as little as $0-$10 per month. The out-of-pocket price for most medication is $25 per month, and shipping is always free.

  • What medications does Nurx prescribe for anxiety and depression?

    Your Nurx medical provider will create a personalized treatment plan, if medically appropriate, based on your symptoms and health history. Nurx prescribes and delivers a comprehensive selection of mental health treatments including SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and medications that may be used to treat panic attacks. The Nurx medical team prescribes these treatments according to evidence-based clinical guidelines and based on each patient’s individual symptoms and health history.

  • What types of anxiety does Nurx treat?

    Nurx medical providers treat Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder, though our medical team evaluates each patient individually and will only prescribe treatment to patients who they determine can be safely and appropriately cared for through telehealth.

  • What types of depression does Nurx treat?

    Nurx treats mild to moderate depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Premenstrual Dysmorphic Disorder (PMDD). We may also treat patients with stable postpartum depression, if they are already on medication. However, our medical team evaluates each patient individually and will only prescribe treatment to patients who they determine can be safely and appropriately cared for through telehealth.

  • What does the monthly cost cover?

    There isn’t a one-size-fits all treatment for mental health conditions — the medication/s and the dose that work best varies by individual patient and may change for that patient over time. For that reason, you may need to communicate with our medical team regularly at the beginning of your treatment to find a plan that works best for you.* Once your treatment plan is established our medical team will check in throughout the year, to confirm that the treatment is working and adjust if needed. Nurx patients can message the medical team any time to ask questions about their treatment or request prescription adjustments. This ongoing care and unlimited access to our medical team costs $59 for the initial consultation (in addition to the copay or cost of your medication) and $69 per month for ongoing medication management, even if there are months when you don’t communicate with us. Please note that Nurx does not provide therapy or counseling.

  • Does Nurx offer online therapy?

    Nurx does not currently offer therapy or counseling. For therapy resources, including finding a therapist and digital support based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) click here.
