Cerebral offers online psychiatry and medication management. ILTY offers AI conversation. These serve very different needs—here's how to think about it.
Cerebral is an online mental health platform that offers psychiatry (medication management), therapy, and counseling. It's designed for people who need clinical treatment, including medication.
The platform connects you with prescribers who can evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medication for conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia.
Cerebral has faced some controversy around prescribing practices, particularly regarding controlled substances. They've since implemented stricter protocols.
ILTY is fundamentally different from Cerebral. It's AI conversation support, not clinical treatment. It cannot diagnose, prescribe medication, or provide therapy.
ILTY helps with everyday emotional processing: talking through stress, anxiety, decisions, and difficult situations. It's support, not treatment.
For people who need both medication and conversation support, ILTY can supplement clinical care—but never replace it.

Cerebral and ILTY aren't really competitors—they serve completely different needs. Cerebral is clinical mental health care. ILTY is conversational support.
If you need medication for depression, anxiety, or ADHD, you need a prescriber like Cerebral offers. ILTY cannot and should not be used instead of clinical treatment.
What ILTY can do is support you between appointments, help you process how medication changes are affecting you, and provide a space to talk through everyday challenges that don't require clinical intervention.
Think of it this way: Cerebral treats the condition. ILTY supports the person dealing with it.
No. ILTY cannot advise on medication in any way. Medication decisions should only be made with a licensed prescriber (psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or your doctor).
If you need clinical treatment or medication, use Cerebral or another clinical service. If you need conversational support for everyday mental health, use ILTY. Many people benefit from both.
Yes. Use Cerebral for clinical treatment and medication management. Use ILTY for daily emotional support and processing between appointments.
The best way to know if ILTY is right for you is to try it. We're in beta and completely free.
