Psychiatry

Individuals seek the help of a psychiatrist for many reasons. Some people experience the rapid onset of symptoms such as panic attacks, thoughts of suicide, impulsivity and anger while others may suffer sustained periods of sadness, lack of motivation, nervousness, fatigue, poor functioning and pain. Distorted perceptions of daily life and/or feelings of helplessness and hopelessness are common. More than twenty million adults in the U.S. experience a substance use disorder and more than half also have a co-occurring mental disorder. Regardless of the reason for seeking psychiatric assistance, sooner is always better than later.

Neuro Wellness Spa’s telepsychiatry appointments are conducted through a HIPAA compliant video-conferencing platform which protects patient autonomy, confidentiality and privacy. Our telepsychiatry services are equivalent to our in-person psychiatry services with respect to diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. In fact, the convenience of telepsychiatry often saves patient time, money and other resources while improving access to care.

For a few populations, telepsychiatry may even be preferable to in-person care. For instance, patients with autism spectrum disorder, severe anxiety disorders, or patients with physical or transportation limitations may prefer to schedule telepsychiatry appointments in lieu of in-person visits. Additionally, telepsychiatry allows patients to receive mental health care from the privacy of their own home. With telepsychiatry, patients can avoid inconveniences like travel or needing to take time off of work for every appointment.
