GBI’d give less than 1 star if I could I’d give less than 1 star if I could. Brightside sent me an invoice two weeks ago for back payment starting the beginning of the month. Without explanation or any clarification they automatically billed my account. I wasn’t able to make rent or get through to any customer service rep. Save yourself the anger!!

GBThis company preys on people needing help. Brightside continued to charge me for services they were not providing. The company told me that I would need to pay an additional $50.00 to meet with a new provider and when I refused continued to charge me for medication management even though they provided no further prescriptions. Even after I asked that my service be cancelled they proceeded to charge me for another month. This company uses predatory billing practices to take advantage of people who need help, but may not have the time or finances to find an in-person provider.

GBDO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! I scored a 21/21 on their anxiety test and currently in a seriously bad way. I was prescribed a blood pressure medication and the same old ineffective antidepressants. She didn't even listen to me. Towards the end I just started saying yeah and rushed to get off the call. It's all BS! Yet another "health care professional" has done nothing to help me even when I asked and pleaded. If you have serious anxiety and panic attack disorder, don't expect them to do anything to relieve that stress other than throw the same old ineffective drugs at you and try to up sell you for their therapy services. It's all a money making scheme with no substance. As the title says, don't waste your money.

GBI’d give its therapists 5 stars I’d give its therapists 5 stars. However, the nurse practioners are short lived. When asked if they treat ADHD you’re given the incorrect answer of yes. During my year with them I found my therapist a God send. However the medication and NP side of my treatment would be a 1 star experience. At first I was given a 5 minute (not an exaggeration) appointment with him. He prescribed a medication that put me in a deep depression and the effects of the medication were something I won’t soon forget. But it was his response to hearing I wasn’t doing well on the medication that sent me reeling. “Most don’t do well on that medication”. Ok why prescribe it if you know it’s not a good drug for most patients?! During the year plus I was with them, my NP changed several times. Never getting medication I needed to impove my condition. They don’t accept most insurances and it’s difficult to tell whom they take.

GBMedication issues There were some billing issues - but nothing outside of normal insurance stuff. I have only done the medication part of the site because that is what my insurance will cover. The original session was pretty impersonal, painless and quick - but it was fine. I was able to ask questions and the provider was knowledgeable. The issue is that my medication issuing has been messy at best. I first got a low dose of medication to try out for a month or so. After that I had an appointment and we upped it to a low therapeutic dose. The issue is they didn't stop the original prescription and both perceptions were issued- which could definitely be an problem with certain medications. Currently, I have a 90 day supply of medication they can only prescribe every 5 months. My pharmacy tried to advocate, but Brightside told me that their system is not perfect and I would pay for another session to get it worked out. I have been without medication for 30 days and looks like I have to wait another month to get my prescription refilled. Another thing (not a reason that should stop you from using the service, but a major annoyance) They ask a questionnaire every two weeks about your mental health status. The choices to the frequency of feelings are - every day, almost every day, several days or never....aren't "almost everyday" and "several days" about the same thing? It is a small thing, but honestly makes it hard to answer. I am looking for another provider - it is safe to be constantly on and off medication due tho their system
