Dear lybrate-user, your psychiatrist will be available on telemedicine. You can contact him over audio or video consultations. Escitalopram (cipralex) can be prescribed over telemedicine. Telemedicine is legal from march 2020 and practice guidelines are formed and available to all doctors.

Yes but please take the all previous records so that the doctor can know about the medication history and improvement with ssris. Visiting doctor can also treat you with counselling along with medication.
