What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine offers a convenient way to access psychiatric services from anywhere. KAVN Health uses telemedicine systems that patients can easily access from laptops, smartphones, tablets, or desktop computers.

KAVN Health’s secure telemedicine service enables you to speak in confidence with your provider using video conferencing technology. It gives you the same experience as an in-person consultation without the inconvenience.

Telemedicine is also highly beneficial if you live in a rural location or have chronic health problems that make traveling more challenging.

How does telemedicine benefit me?

A key benefit of telemedicine is that it’s more convenient for you. You choose the appointment time that suits your schedule and log in. Instead of booking time off work or having to arrange childcare to visit the practice, you simply wait at your desk or in the comfort of your home.

In addition, you don’t have to engage with traffic or suffer anxiety when you can’t find a parking space. There’s no hustle and bustle with people on public transport or in the streets, so you save yourself a great deal of stress.

You also save time if you’re not traveling, as well as gas money or transport fares. Another benefit of note is that you won’t risk exposure to infectious diseases.

Is telemedicine suitable for mental health patients?

Telemedicine is particularly suited to mental health patients. If you find leaving your familiar surroundings stressful, you might be reluctant to visit KAVN Health in person. With telemedicine, you can remain in your safe space and keep your stress levels to a minimum.

Telemedicine is suitable for most mental health and behavioral problems, including:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Phobias
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Bipolar disorder

Psychiatric disorders are ideal for this online format because you don’t very often need physical exams or lab tests at a mental health consultation.

KAVN Health uses telemedicine to deliver a comprehensive range of psychiatric services, including diagnosis, psychotherapy, and medication management. They provide electronic prescriptions for your convenience as well.
