telepsychiatry

Telepsychiatry is a branch of telemedicine that allows patients to receive psychiatric care remotely, using video calls or other digital communication methods. This approach makes mental health services more accessible to individuals who may have difficulty visiting a doctor in person, whether due to geographical barriers, mobility issues, or time constraints. During a telepsychiatry session, a licensed mental health professional can evaluate, diagnose, and offer treatment, including therapy and medication management, just as they would in a traditional office setting. This method maintains patient confidentiality and provides convenience while ensuring quality care.
