Telehealth

Telehealth is an invaluable service that allows people with mental health problems to receive expert care in their homes. The team at Revive Holistic Psychiatry in Weymouth, Massachusetts, offer telehealth consultations for adults with psychiatric disorders. You simply access the secure online videoconferencing platform using any internet-connected device. Call Revive Holistic Psychiatry today to learn more, or book a telehealth appointment online.

What is telehealth?

Telehealth provides remote consultations over a secure internet connection. Rather than seeing your Revive Holistic Psychiatry provider in person at the office, you talk to them from wherever convenient, like your home or workplace, using videoconferencing technology.

You need a stable internet connection for telehealth consultations. You use your desktop computer, laptop, smartphone, or tablet to log in to the virtual waiting room, and your provider logs in at the appointed time.

Telehealth services are becoming widely available in many medical fields, but they’re especially valuable for mental health patients, who often find leaving home overly stressful. With telehealth, you remain where you feel safe and avoid the problems visiting in person might cause you.

What psychiatric telehealth services are available?

Revive Holistic Psychiatry’s telehealth services provide holistic (whole person) diagnostics and treatment for numerous mental health problems, including:

• Depression and other mood disorders
• Anxiety disorders
• Substance use disorder
• Bipolar disorder
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Your provider completes a psychiatric evaluation after examining your medical records, reviewing your mental health history, and discussing the problems you currently experience. They may also ask you to complete psychological and/or genetic tests to optimize your treatment.

After assessing the information, your provider designs a personalized treatment program. Revive Holistic Psychiatry specializes in medication management, including Spravato® for treatment-resistant depression. You might also require therapy.

What advantages does telehealth offer me?

Telehealth is a far more convenient way to access many routine mental health services. For instance, you avoid having to arrange transport, which is especially useful if you live some distance from Revive Holistic Psychiatry’s offices, don’t have a car, are too sick for an in-person visit, or have mobility problems.

Telehealth also saves you gas money, parking fees, or public transport charges, and you don’t need to cover childcare costs or miss as much work time.

In-person visits raise your risk of catching infectious diseases like colds and COVID-19. Telehealth prevents exposure to these viruses, which could be vital if you or someone you see often is vulnerable to infection complications.

Massachusetts state laws and regulations require in-person assessments and follow-ups for some mental health disorders and medications, including Spravato, stimulants for ADHD, and Suboxone® medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for addiction.
