@drstacey I have previously, and currently, use telehealth services to see a psychiatrist.
I might be able to help you with any questions you have 🙂

For me, I go to my local Medical Centre for the telehealth appointments.
They have a normal consulting room set up for the appointments and I talk to the psychiatrist via skype.
I find the telehealth appointments good as I don't have to travel so far to speak to them. It means I can continue my daily routines around my appointment.

I do find though that seeing them via telehealth is different to face to face. In some aspects, it's hard as the internet connection can sometimes be laggy or very staticky. This makes it had, but usually we then resort to the phone so we can hear each other better.

Confused about how to access mental health services?
