Telepsychiatry provides an interaction between the practitioner and the patient similar to coming into the office for medication management and therapy but instead, you will be looking at the practitioner from the computer screen. Telepsychiatry is suitable for people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. Research indicates that telepsychiatry is just as effective as an in-person treatment, and it may even be preferable for some people.
