Telepsychiatry: Stay Home, Feel Better!
Mental health is a topic often shrouded in stigma and shame, but the truth is that 1 in 5 Americans will experience some form of mental illness in their lifetime. That’s a whopping 20% – a staggering statistic, and it’s time we start talking more openly about mental health help. Moreover, it’s time to talk about the benefits of telepsychiatry…specifically at bonmente…and how you can move forward, feel better, and improve the quality of your life.
WHAT IS TELEPSYCHIATRY?
Telepsychiatry is a revolutionary form of mental health care that is quickly becoming the preferred way for people to receive psychiatric services. Better yet, it has been extensively studied and found to be as effective as treatment as usual for most mental health issues.
It is a form of telemedicine that involves the use of telecommunications technology to provide remote mental health services to individuals who want to skip a trip to the office. It has a number of benefits for those with mental health issues, including:
- increased access to care,
- improved quality of care,
- more continuity in care,
- better efficiencies in providing care, and
- cost savings.
Telehealth is here to stay, and for those of us who spend too much time in traffic already, we are thankful!
Let’s take a closer look at who can benefit from telepsychiatry services at bonmente.
PEOPLE WITH A RANGE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
At bonmente, our providers are clinically and techonologically trained to care for all mental health problems through telemedicine platforms. If the condition can be treated in any other office setting, it can be done with telemedicine. For patients who are in crisis or need more intensive treatment, a telepsychiatry appointment can be the first step to getting a higher level of care.
Here are just some of the conditions that can benefit from telepsychiatry services at bonmente.
- Anxiety disorders

- ADHD
- Postpartum
- Depression
