During a telepsychiatry session, you will communicate with your provider by using a secure video conferencing platform, such as Zoom. However, it is important to note that telepsychiatry is not appropriate for all mental health conditions, and it may not be suitable for individuals with severe mental health conditions or those who require immediate, in-person medical attention. It is important for individuals to discuss their specific needs with a mental health provider to determine if telepsychiatry is an appropriate option for them
