What is cyber psychiatry?

Cyber psychiatry, also known as online psychiatry or telepsychiatry, refers to the provision of mental health care through digital platforms, enabling psychiatrists to diagnose and treat patients remotely via video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging. This approach enhances accessibility to mental health services, particularly for individuals in underserved areas or those who face barriers to in-person visits. Cyber psychiatry incorporates various therapeutic modalities, including medication management and psychotherapy, while maintaining patient confidentiality and adherence to healthcare regulations.
