Psychiatrist online for a second opinion on your treatment
For you or a relative in treatment
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. You choose one by profile and price, send a discharge note or the medicines you take, and ask for an opinion by message or on a call.
The app is free to download. You pay once, and nothing renews.

What a psychiatrist can help with online
A second opinion on a treatment is mostly talk and paperwork.
Online, in the app
- A second opinion on a treatment you were given, before you start it or weeks in
- Side effects you notice: sleep, appetite, weight, feeling flat or restless
- A discharge note or report you want explained in plain words
- A medicine suggested for your teenager, with your questions as a parent
- With a relative’s agreement: how to support them in treatment, what to watch for
- Low mood, anxiety or poor sleep lasting weeks, and what help to look for
In person, at an appointment
- Starting, changing or stopping a medicine, with the doctor who treats you
- Prescriptions, sick notes and referrals: the app issues none
- A certificate from a psychiatrist for a driver’s license or for work
- Blood tests or an ECG your treatment may call for; the results can be sent after
If you might harm yourself, call 112 now
x.doctor is not for emergencies, and a reply can take time. Call 112 now, or go to the nearest emergency department, if:
- You have thoughts of harming yourself or of ending your life
- You have harmed yourself, or taken too much of a medicine or something harmful
- Voices or thoughts are telling you to harm yourself or someone else
- Someone near you is in danger, or suddenly very confused and not safe

If you can, ask someone to stay with you. 112 works in Moldova and across the EU; in other countries, call the local emergency number.
