In a bold move to bridge the mental healthcare gap in the Kingdom, Bekare launched its online mental health platform all over Saudi Arabia. It is a far-reaching platform: only a tap on the phone away from professional help. It is to provide every minute accessibility to licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists, thereby eliminating the barriers to a big one in a region where stigma and availability have long been issues.
At a time when more Saudis are waking up to the realities of mental health, especially post-pandemic, Bekare is stepping in with an accessible, affordable, and private solution for individuals seeking online mental health consultation in Saudi Arabia.
Changing the Way Saudi Arabia Talks About Mental Health
Backed by MedFormatix Co. and officially licensed under Saudi authorities, Bekare isn’t just another telehealth startup. It is a full-service, culturally-aware mental health platform that caters to the Saudi audience-from Arabic-speaking practitioners to support options for women, youth, and even corporate employees.
The company's mission is clear: put quality mental health care in every hand and normalize getting help-whether it is for work stress or something deeper.
According to a recent King Saud University study, over 20% of Saudis suffer from mental health problems, with anxiety and depression topping the list. Less than 30% of them seek professional support, as the impediments include stigma, cost, or simply availability. Bekare tackles all three head-on.
What Makes Bekare Different?
Here’s where Bekare flips the switch: everything is online, 24/7, and user-first.
Clients can:
Sign up securely in under 3 minutes
Browse and choose licensed professionals (psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, therapists)
Book video consultations based on availability and preference
Get prescriptions, follow-ups, and ongoing support—all from their phone
Data-Backed, People-Focused
Mental health in the Gulf is having a long-overdue awakening. In a 2023 Ministry of Health report, over 45% of young Saudis admitted to experiencing frequent stress or sadness, but only a fraction turn to traditional clinics.
The global telepsychiatry market, meanwhile, is expected to hit $36 billion by 2030. Saudi Arabia is right in the center of that growth curve, with Bekare well-positioned to lead the charge.
Bekare’s platform bypasses all that with encrypted calls, therapist matching, and flexible sessions—even late nights and weekends. No driving, no sitting in crowded waiting rooms. Just a real conversation with someone who knows their craft.
The Real-World Impact
From helping young women navigate identity crises to offering treatment for generalized anxiety disorder online for working professionals, Bekare is already changing lives.
One corporate manager shared how Bekare helped him manage anger issues that were bleeding into work and family life. “I didn’t want to be ‘that guy’—shouting at the smallest thing. My therapist helped me pinpoint the triggers and turn things around,” he said.
Even individuals struggling with addiction, trauma, or sleep disorders can now get clinical-grade care without ever stepping foot in a clinic.
Built for Saudis, By People Who Understand Saudis
The team behind Bekare includes Saudi healthcare professionals, technologists, and behavioral experts who’ve built the platform with the Kingdom’s cultural nuances at its core. Therapists are multilingual, sessions can be booked discreetly, and each care plan aligns with Islamic values where requested.
What’s Next?
To mark its official Saudi launch, Bekare is offering a “Know Yourself” campaign where users can take a free DASS-8 mental health self-assessment and receive a complimentary 15-minute guidance session.
Because mental health isn’t a luxury. It’s a need. And in 2025, it should be accessible to everyone.
