The ‘Study of Knowledge, Attitude, Anxiety & Perceived Mental Healthcare Need in [the] Indian Population During [the] COVID-19 Pandemic’, conducted by Deblina Roy, et al, used an online survey and got a total of 662 responses from persons who had at least a moderate knowledge of COVID-19 and how to prevent it.
The current climate requires more inventive ways for persons to easily and privately access care.
The restrictions that we face with COVID-19, especially for those communities that are placed under quarantine, means that there is need to find a way to continue treatment and care for mental health.
Coupled with the fact that persons are in need of mental healthcare more than ever, given the current circumstances – reduced socialisation, increased stress, job loss, illness, and death – people are in need of access to remote mental-health services, which teletherapy satisfies.
Teletherapy is set to revolutionise the way we approach and view mental health care.
