Mixed feelings about this too. I want to know that a prescriber is taking it seriously, but also, making a doctors appointment is surprisingly really hard for me to do. I don’t mean because of a busy schedule. I meant it is just really difficult for some neurodivergent people to do things that other people can do easily.
Online treatment has made it more accessible for people like me and I may not have sought treatment otherwise.
Being able to schedule a doctor's appointment for anytime during a 24 hour period has been such a massive breath of fresh air for me (also neurodivergent)
It's hard enough for normal appointments but scheduling a doctor's appointment is especially difficult
I’m pretty not neurodivergent generally, but I also seriously struggle with this. My partner is exceptionally adept at navigating these things, if we had the same health problems I definitely would have died (no hyperbole) already for lack of being able to reach care the way things are set up.
