Telepsychiatry, a subset of telemedicine, leverages videoconferencing technology to provide psychiatric care and mental health services remotely. This method allows patients to access high-quality mental health care from their own homes, bridging the gap between patients and providers, particularly in rural or underserved areas. With the advent of telepsychiatry, the landscape of mental health services has transformed, offering new opportunities for treatment and intervention.
