Telemedicine Q & A
What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine is a remote way of providing medical care. Telepsychiatry is the branch of telemedicine that offers essential mental health care. These visits are conducted in real-time, so it’s just like being in the office of E&B Behavioral and Medical Clinic LLC.
The team at E&B Behavioral and Medical Clinic LLC evaluates your mental health and answers all your questions using telepsychiatry. Plus, they can deliver important psychotherapy, behavioral health services, and medication management via electronic communication.
Am I a candidate for telepsychiatry?
Anyone who is hesitant to come into the office of E&B Behavioral and Medical Clinic LLC is a candidate for telepsychiatry. You may be concerned about coming in contact with other people, may feel uncomfortable in public places, or simply don’t have the transportation to get there. If you’re temporarily homebound for illness or caretaking of another person, telepsychiatry prevents interruptions in your mental health care.
Telepsychiatry means you don’t have to schedule travel time and in-office wait time for each of your therapy appointments. You receive care in a location of your choice, so you may feel more comfortable and at ease.
People with conditions like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, autism, and obsessive-compulsive disorder can all be eligible for telemedicine appointments.
Is telepsychiatry as beneficial as in-person mental health care?
You get the same care via telepsychiatry that you get from in-person visits. The team at E&B Behavioral and Medical Clinic LLC delivers compassion and empathy during every appointment. Patients also appreciate the convenience and privacy afforded by electronic communications.
Many people feel more at ease during telepsychiatry visits because they’re in the privacy of their
own space and not in a clinical setting.
