Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get treatment for anxiety online in Canada?
Yes. Licensed Canadian physicians can assess and treat anxiety through telehealth. After a confidential phone consultation, your physician may recommend lifestyle strategies, refer you for therapy, or prescribe medication when clinically appropriate. MediNote provides this service for $55 CAD with same-day appointments across all 10 provinces.
Can an online doctor prescribe anxiety medication?
Yes, where clinically appropriate. MediNote physicians are licensed by provincial colleges (CPSO, CPSBC, CPSA, CMQ) and can prescribe SSRIs, SNRIs, and short-course non-controlled anxiety medications. Controlled benzodiazepines are generally not initiated through telehealth on a first visit, in line with provincial prescribing guidelines.
How does an online anxiety consultation work at MediNote?
Book at medinote.ca/book and pick a time. A licensed Canadian physician calls you at the scheduled time for a 15-30 minute confidential consultation. The doctor reviews your symptoms, history, and goals, then sends any prescription directly to your pharmacy and a treatment summary to your dashboard.
How much does online anxiety treatment cost in Canada?
MediNote charges a flat $55 CAD for the consultation. Prescription costs depend on the medication and your provincial drug coverage. We do not bill OHIP for telehealth visits — the $55 fee covers the full consultation.
Is online anxiety treatment confidential?
Yes. MediNote is PHIPA-compliant and your consultation, records, and prescriptions are protected by Canadian health privacy law. Your employer, family, and insurance company are never notified. You can use MediNote without it appearing on your provincial health record unless you choose to share it with your family doctor.
What types of anxiety can be treated online?
MediNote physicians can assess and treat generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, performance anxiety, situational anxiety, and adjustment disorders with anxious features. Severe symptoms, suicidal ideation, or complex psychiatric history may be referred to in-person psychiatric care for safety.
Do I need a referral to see an online doctor for anxiety?
No. MediNote does not require a referral. Book directly at medinote.ca/book — no family doctor sign-off needed. If your situation requires specialist follow-up (psychiatry, psychotherapy), the consulting physician can issue the appropriate referral.
Can I get a sick note for anxiety from MediNote?
Yes. If your physician determines anxiety is affecting your ability to work or attend school, they can issue a confidential sick note. The note states medical reasons without specifying anxiety, protecting your privacy with employers and schools.
How quickly can I be seen?
Same-day appointments are typically available. Most patients are seen within 2-6 hours of booking, often sooner. Mental health concerns are not deprioritised — anxiety appointments are scheduled with the same urgency as other medical concerns.
What if I need ongoing treatment?
You can book follow-up consultations at the same flat $55 rate. For ongoing therapy, your MediNote physician can refer you to a registered psychotherapist or psychologist. Many provinces cover psychotherapy through OHIP or workplace benefits.
