How quickly can I be seen as a new patient in Mount Pleasant, SC?

Can I get a prescription for psychiatric medication through telehealth in South Carolina?

Yes, for non-controlled medications. South Carolina law permits telehealth prescribing of non-controlled psychiatric medications following a proper clinical evaluation. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy in Mount Pleasant.

Can you prescribe ADHD medication through telehealth in South Carolina?

Non-stimulant ADHD medications can be prescribed via telehealth. Stimulant medications are federally controlled substances subject to specific DEA protocols. Please contact our office to discuss your situation.

Is telehealth mental health care as effective as in-person care?

Yes, for most conditions. Research consistently shows telehealth is clinically equivalent to in-person care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and medication management. The American Psychiatric Association endorses telehealth as a standard of care.

What should I do if I am having a mental health emergency in Mount Pleasant, SC?

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. For mental health crises, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
