It can also support people struggling with stress, insomnia, emotional regulation and other concerns.

Advantages of online psychiatric care

Online psychiatric care is convenient, flexible, and offers access to providers no matter where you live. It’s ideal for people with busy schedules because there’s no travel time, which can make consistent treatment easier. Many patients also prefer discussing their mental health concerns from the comfort of home.

Who is eligible for psychiatric care through Rula?

Rula offers psychiatry/medication management services nationwide for adults, and for teens ages 13 and older. For adolescents ages 13-17, it is recommended and considered best practice to have the parent/guardian present during the first session, although this is not required.
