Psychological wellbeing is a big part of overall health. That’s because your mind and body are interwoven; how you think affects how you feel and how you feel can affect your thinking. Seeking mental health support can positively impact your wellbeing, help you reach your potential and allow you to lead a more fulfilling life.

When travelling outside of Canada, you could be at risk of contracting a number of illnesses that could be prevented with a vaccine. At MD Connected, we want you to be able to explore the world confidently. If you’re thinking of travelling abroad, speak with a doctor virtually at MD Connected for travel and vaccine advice.

There are going to be times when you need to show a doctor’s note or medical forms that confirm that you have been ill or explain why you were absent from work or school. But it doesn’t make sense to schedule an appointment and drive to a doctor’s office to get a sick note to prove that you’re ill when you still are.

The Canadian federal government announced that as of October 30, 2021, all travellers boarding a plane, train, or marine vessel need to prove they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Stay-at-home orders and social distancing requirements from COVID-19 have led many doctors and those in the healthcare profession to conduct visits with patients virtually. That means patients “meet” with a licensed physician through either video consultation or phone call.

There are many different types of care Canadians can access to help with their physical and mental health. When it comes to your overall health, you may be given the opportunity to see a physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, or therapist. Each designation involves different training, credentials, certification, focus, and approaches.
