We are currently living in a digital age in which technology growth is rapid, and sometimes hard to keep up with! In addition to new forms of technology, there are new words for technology that are constantly being developed. One word you may have heard is telepsychology in Texas.
What is Telepsychology? Telepsychology, also called Telemental health, is the delivery of mental health services via technological means and not through the more traditional face-to-face visits in the office of your therapist. The methods by which it is delivered varies greatly and has afforded the delivery of mental health services to more people, and in ways that might be a better fit for someone. Telepsychology can be conducted via video teleconferencing, over the phone, via email or text messages, and through applications that you have on your phone or tablet. With the advent of telepsychology, you can call in to your appointment wherever is most convenient for you. Additionally, your therapist no longer needs to be located in the same city as you. Telepsychology in Texas allows you to find the psychologist that is the best fit for you, even if you are located hundreds of miles apart. Another advantage of Telemental health is the use of applications in the treatment process. Monitoring of moods and behaviors so that you can discuss them with your psychologist is an important aspect of treatment. However, this can be time consuming and difficult in an already time-pressured life. With applications on your phone, you can quickly log into the app throughout the day, document your mood and behaviors, and it is all recorded for you with minimal effort. Your psychologist can then review the week with you by bringing up the data in the app. Finding the time and tools to receive treatment for mental health symptoms has never been easier.
