Telehealth, or telemedicine is the use of video and telecommunication technologies to provide
care when you are unable to meet with your therapist in person due to quarantine or other
medical issues. If you have a phone or a device with internet access, you already have
everything you need to get therapy services through telehealth. The benefits of telehealth depend
on the individuals’ needs and circumstances. For example, telehealth can reduce exposure to
COVID-19. This can cut down on commuting or additional time or get to the therapy office,
weather issues, and childcare. Telehealth is not a fit for everyone and should be discussed with
the therapist to determine what best accommodates your needs and circumstances, such as risks
and disadvantages.
Mental health concerns regarding COVID-19 and isolation have already displayed significant
consequences, such anxiety and panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, insomnia, digestive
problems, as well as depressive symptoms and post-traumatic stress, according a study in Lancet
Psychiatry 2020. Even those who consider themselves introverts are recognizing they depend on
business and work environments to sustain their socialization needs. Prolong isolation can have
a dramatically effect on one’s sleep, digestion, and physical and mental health due to limited
movement and stimulation. Domestic arguments have increased since the beginning of the
pandemic. In addition, to those thinking about or attemtping self-harm. Recognizing and
processing these feelings with a mental health professional and prevent one from turning into a
disorder with long-term effects.
