Life can get quite busy. In the midst of all of the activities a person is required to play, fitting an appointment with a psychiatrist may appear rather impossible.

What is Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is known by different names including teletherapy, telehealth, or telepsychiatry – all of which are variations of the original word. Telemedicine allows patients to speak to their online psychiatrist from the comfort of anywhere via video conferencing.

With telemedicine, the patient can be on break at work or can be at home and still get access to their psychiatrist using an audio and video-enabled device like their smartphones and computers. Through this technological breakthrough, psychiatrists can also connect better with others who are involved in caring for the patient.

The introduction of telemedicine has significantly boosted the rate of appointment appearance as more patients are now able to show up for their appointments from anywhere they are with ease.
