All you need to know about mental health related issues
Treatment and care for mental health-related issues can be provided in a variety of settings. The environment, and level or type of care, will depend on multiple factors: the nature and severity of the person’s mental condition, their physical health, and the type of treatment prescribed or indicated.
The two primary types of treatment settings for receiving mental health care or services are
1) hospital inpatient
2) outpatient
In addition, some mental health care services are delivered via online and telecommunications technologies.
Telepsychiatry, Telemental Health Services refer to the remote delivery of psychiatric assessment and care, or psychological support and services, via telephone or the Internet using email, online chat, or video conferencing. Most commonly, these services improve access to care for individuals with mental health issues living in remote locations or underserved areas, or who can’t leave home due to illness, emergencies or mobility problems. They also allow clinicians to support their patients or clients between visits.
