Talk to Psychologists & Psychiatrists Online in Pakistan

Services at SehatYab are provided by psychiatrists and psychologists in coordination with each other so the most suitable and comprehensive treatment is provided. Every patient is offered personalized care similar to a physical clinic, with support from first contact to recovery.

Online treatment is very suitable for mental well-being treatments because most patients do not need to be physically examined. Benefits include dedicated time with the doctor, fewer distractions than physical clinics, privacy of the patient’s home, coordination between psychiatrists and psychologists, convenience for the patient’s schedule, and easier second opinions when required. Limitations include unsuitability for serious cases requiring in-patient treatment and possible medication management limitations for international patients due to regulatory reasons.

You can get therapy through text messages including audio notes after an initial video session, or through video calls with your therapist. You can use different ways depending on your needs, availability, and convenience.

You and your therapist will get a dedicated WhatsApp number that serves as a private and secure place to communicate. You can write about your life, ask questions, and discuss issues troubling you. Your therapist will respond with questions, feedback, insights, and guidance during duty time, and you can usually get guidance within 24 hours.

You can have a video session with your therapist in a virtual face-to-face setting. A SehatYab agent guides you on how to download video conferencing software, and at the scheduled time you can click the consultation link sent through email or SMS to begin the session.

Depression, anxiety and other common mental health issues are very common and can often be resolved successfully, though continuity of treatment is important for full recovery. In many situations, mental issues reflect behaviors and past traumatic incidents, and therapists guide patients on how to deal with them. SehatYab has been treating patients since 2016 and reports high treatment satisfaction.

Generally, many patients start feeling better from the very first session and improve with each new session. During the first session, the patient is assessed for how long and what kind of therapy will be required. Every patient is different, so duration and type of therapy also differ.

A psychiatrist is a specialist medical doctor who mainly manages physiological treatment through medicines. A psychologist is trained to treat patients through mental exercises, psychotherapy and guidance. If an issue is in an initial stage or not severe, psychologists may treat it through talk therapy without medication. If a condition is severe, a psychiatrist may prescribe medicine, after which psychotherapy with a psychologist is often required to resolve the core problem. One benefit at SehatYab is that psychiatrists and psychologists work together for comprehensive care.

Early treatment is better because issues can be resolved sooner, often with less time and money. Mental health issues do not usually improve on their own and can deteriorate with no treatment. Delayed treatment can also affect friends and family as the condition continues.

The cost of therapy through SehatYab typically ranges from PKR 2000 to PKR 7000 per individual consultation, depending on the clinician. If multiple sessions are recommended, suitable consultation packages may also be available. Text and audio note subscriptions can start from lower monthly amounts depending on the package.

SehatYab takes privacy and confidentiality seriously. Information shared with your therapist is confidential, messages are secured and encrypted, and the system uses modern security practices including SSL. Information is not shared with insurance companies, and if any information needs to be released to a third party, proper authorization is required.
