Mentep
Mentep is an online platform for people facing mental health issues to get help, no matter how remote they are. Qualified and experienced professional therapists are available on the go. Being an online platform solves the logistical problems of “going to a therapist” and is also reasonably priced because of the same. It's also really easy to get an appointment booked, takes no more than 2 minutes. Despite being a toddler in health-tech startups, Mentep has gathered prominent people's trust, including established psychiatrists, social workers, and startup consultants.
