Telepsychiatry will continue to grow – and become the house call of yesteryear

Dr. Zoe Martinez, a clinical leader at mental health platform Done, predicts that telepsychiatry will grow and fill a gap in mental healthcare, in part by making services more accessible to underserved communities. Access to remote care services will be crucial in providing care in areas experiencing mental health care shortages. Additionally, acceptance of telepsychiatry will be encouraged by an improved understanding of the social environments of patients. Continued cooperation between pharmacies, organizations, and political leaders will also ensure access to necessary medications for telepsychiatry patients.
