Treatment & risks
While mental health is a common use of telemedicine, we aren’t able to help everyone and results don’t happen overnight. If your symptoms or wider situation is too complex for us to handle, we’ll be straight up with you and recommend you see someone in person.
The medicines we prescribe online are prescription medicines that are FDA-approved and taken by millions of Americans every day. But like all medicines, they come with the risk of serious side effects. And while we’ll do all we can to personalize your care and find the right treatment plan for your goals, there’s no guarantee that the medicines will work.

Seasonal affective disorder FAQs
What is seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?
Seasonal affective disorder, commonly referred to as seasonal depression, is a type of depression commonly associated with a specific time of year.
Seasonal affective disorder can affect people outside fall and winter months as well.
The signs and symptoms can include changes in appetite or weight, low energy, and difficulty concentrating.
Can Lemonaid treat seasonal affective disorder online?
We can. Our team of experienced doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists can give you the help you need. We’ll work with you month by month to establish your goals and help you find the antidepressant medicine that works for you. Once you’ve seen improvement, we’ll work with you to decide if and when to come off treatment. Our treatment program is centered around monthly video consultation.
Lemonaid doesn’t currently offer cognitive behavioral therapy (‘CBT’), but you may find CBT helpful as a substitute or complement to prescription treatment.
How quickly do antidepressants for seasonal affective disorder work?
Antidepressants don’t work immediately. It can take 6-8 weeks before you know how a depression medicine at a particular dosage works for you, and it can take 3 months before you feel the full benefits.
What if my seasonal depression becomes less seasonal, can Lemonaid still help me?
Yes, a person’s mental health needs can change over time. Our medical team will evaluate you on a recurring basis to make sure you continue to receive the right care.
Do I need to take antidepressants long term?
Many people stay on depression medicines for at least 12 months the first time they take them. If your depression returns repeatedly, one option is to stay on antidepressant medicine lifelong.
Can Lemonaid help with other mental health needs?
Yes, Lemonaid can also help with general depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
