Telehealth Supported Care for Community Mental Health Centers

mHealth Intelligence: Telehealth Supported Care for Community Mental Health Centers

A recent study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research Mental Health found that telehealth supported care continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic for community mental health center patients with serious mental illness. Researchers found that female patients between 18 and 34 with less severe diagnoses, such as anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and major depressive disorder, were most likely to use telehealth. Researchers concluded that telehealth was highly resourceful for community mental health center patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it will continue to open possibilities for future methods of care.
