What is telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry involves the use of technology, such as a phone, computer, or tablet, to communicate mental health concerns with your psychiatrist.

It may be beneficial for people who want to talk with their psychiatrist from the comfort of their home, but also provides a way for you to receive prompt help for your mental health. If you have a compromised immune system, it might also prevent your risk of contracting illness from others.

•    Time and cost savings

How does telepsychiatry work?

During your scheduled telepsychiatry appointment, a provider from Dr. Messina & Associates calls you. They review your medical history and discuss your symptoms with you. Your provider then personalizes treatments based on your mental health goals and lets you know what to expect.

During follow-up telepsychiatry appointments with your provider, you can discuss your progress and any side effects you experience while taking medication. You can also schedule in-person visits for additional treatment sessions as needed.

What telepsychiatry services are available?

Dr. Messina & Associates offers the following telepsychiatry services:

•    Initial psychiatric evaluation
•    Ongoing psychiatric medication management for mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and insomnia

You can also chat virtually with your psychiatrist before and after your in-office visits for further
mental health support.

You might also find it beneficial to write a list of questions and issues that you’d like to discuss, so you don’t forget to address them at your appointment.
