Telehealth Q & A

What is telehealth?

Telehealth offers a way for the Even Better Mood Clinic team to provide mental healthcare even when you can’t (or don’t wish to) come into the clinic. It offers a way to interact directly with your provider and may utilize video or audio-only connections or include sending them information from mobile apps, smart watches, or other technology. 

With telehealth, you can:

  • Receive treatment from a preferred location
  • Improve access to specialty mental health care that might not otherwise be available
  • Better integrate mental healthcare with primary care services
  • Reduce delays in receiving important care
  • Overcome stigmas around mental healthcare
  • Avoid the potential for transportation to cause delays or barriers to treatment
  • Access private, secure, and more comfortable care

With telehealth, you can easily follow up with your trusted providers to achieve continuity of care. There is also less need to take time off work or schedule childcare, which can make getting to an appointment challenging.

 

Would telehealth be useful as a part of my care?

Using safe and secure technology like videoconferencing, you can get prompt attention for a variety of needs. These include:

  • Medication management, in some cases
  • Individual, group, and family therapies
  • Psychiatric evaluations

Anyone with less reliable internet access can utilize phone calls or texting to communicate with your provider. Telehealth also gives you streamlined access to bring up issues as they arise for more peace of mind.

 

Is telehealth safe and effective?

Research has found that both psychiatrists and patients benefit from telehealth. You can have complete confidence that your diagnosis accuracy, care plan effectiveness, and quality of treatment are equivalent to in-office care.

This is true of all age groups. Telehealth may actually be a better option for demographics with mental health or physical conditions that make it preferable to receive care in a location they choose.

Whether you need prompt care for a concern or symptom or just want a convenient alternative for your regular appointments, the Even Better Mood Clinic team wants to help.
