A more understanding and compassionate view is slowly replacing the stigma surrounding mental health. Just a few short years ago, mental wellbeing struggled to find a foothold in mainstream opinion as a legitimate healthcare concern.
With the advent of COVID-19 and the strain of isolating conditions on society, mental health issues leaped to the headlines. Despite the increased demand for board-certified psychiatric assistance, the restrictions on in-person meetings made therapy sessions much more challenging. Fortunately, innovative ideas and technological advancements have made access to mental health services much more available.
Telepsychiatry provides patients the opportunity to speak to a mental health professional from the comfort of their homes. People who feel alone and without support can now solicit advice and guidance they may otherwise not have obtained. The extension of virtual psychiatry into people’s living rooms has opened the door to better mental health.
It has also paved the way to a better understanding of just how important the human connection is, not just during a global pandemic, but always. Connecting to other people, discovering mutual interests, and sharing successes and failures are all part of life. While it took a global pandemic to highlight essential aspects of the human condition, it is also altering the stigma of what it means to struggle with mental health.
