telepsychiatry
Distance mental healthcare
Telepsychiatry is the practice of providing psychiatric care remotely, typically through video conferencing.
A psychiatrist evaluates patients, provides therapy, and prescribes medication without being physically present: She sees her psychiatrist through telepsychiatry since moving to a rural area.
The practice expanded dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic.
