How I Treat

What is Telepsychiatry ?

Telepsychiatry is a subset of telemedicine, that specializes in delivering mental health treatment with the help of technology. Primarily telepsychiatry uses an interactive audiovisual real-time platform such as Zoom or other equivalents.

Telepsychiatry can be used for initial evaluations, consults, providing ongoing care, and prescribing medications.
