Managing your mental health has become more important than ever in recent years. But it’s also more challenging, especially for individuals with busy, demanding lifestyles. Making time for a weekly therapy or psychiatry appointment between obligations at work, family, and home is impossible for many individuals. For those who want more support in managing their mental health, telehealth psychiatry provides accessibility and convenience.
Telehealth psychiatry enables patients to get the mental health care they need without the hassle of visiting a clinic for an in-person appointment. Telehealth psychiatry provides mental support through a range of services, including:
Patients can access telehealth psychiatry from the comfort of their homes, making mental health treatment less disruptive.
When patients engage in-clinic treatment, they must find a provider in their area who also accepts their insurance. While some enjoy the face-to-face interaction and take comfort in seeing their care provider, there are some significant downsides to in-clinic treatment:
In-clinic treatment, while standard, hasn’t adapted to patients changing lives. Telehealth psychiatry can fill in some gaps, making regular medication management and crisis support more accessible.
If you’ve found that your mental health becomes less of a priority when your life gets busy, consider incorporating telehealth psychiatry into your support network. You can maintain your medication regimen with a phone call from home.
During an initial assessment, a care provider will get to know your goals for treatment, medical history, and concerns for treatment. At Synchronous Mental Health, we treat the whole person, from medication management to wellness and therapy.
Our care providers will offer referrals when necessary and check in with your goals and treatment. We work with patients towards minimizing medication and selecting regimens with minimal side effects.
Telehealth is perfect for anyone who struggles to make time for regular psychiatry appointments but wants support and insight regarding their medication management and mental health.
However, telehealth is also ideal for individuals with mobility issues for whom getting to an in-clinic appointment is a hassle. Telehealth appointments also ensure discretion for individuals who want to keep their mental health private.
Much like with therapy, finding a psychiatric provider with whom you feel comfortable is essential for building a mental health routine that becomes a habit. Consider the experience of a provider, as well as the benefits they can offer to your ongoing wellness.
During your intake with a telehealth psychiatrist, consider their approach to mental health. Make sure their philosophy regarding mediation aligns with yours, and you feel comfortable working with them to find the right prescription and dosage for your diagnosis.
The primary benefit of telehealth services is accessibility and convenience, so a provider should be easy to reach and reliable regarding prescription refills, therapy, and psychiatry services.
