Seeing psychiatrist for first time with 'telemedicine.' Help?!

[sweetboredom]

I have no idea how it even works.  In the past, I've brought lists and symptom monitoring charts to give the psychiatrist because my anxiety makes it difficult to talk to doctors.  I can't do that if I have to *see* the doctor through a computer screen (thats what I'm assuming telemedicine is)... how does he even prescribe medications if he can't physically write it down and hand the paper to me?

Someone who's seen a psychiatrist through telemedicine, whatever the heck it is, can you please share your experience and maybe help put me at ease about this.  My appointment is tomorrow morning, and I'm kind of freaking out.

I have no experience with this.  However, in response to you question about writing an Rx.  He would most likely call it in to your pharmacy directly, rather than the old pen and paper method.  Therefore, be sure you have established where you want to fill any potential medications.
