In a telepsychiatry session, typically the doctor or therapist can only see your face or upper body. Since psychiatry is primarily focused on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, this does not usually pose any problem for the provider using telepsychiatry. Often, patients access telepsychiatry from the home. As such, telepsychiatry has the quality of a “home visit.” The provider can often see the patient’s home and environment. This can help provide useful information. For example, if a patient is a hoarder, this might be readily apparent during the telepsychiatry session. If the patient is depressed, the psychiatrist might note that the home environment is disordered due to low motivation in the patient. Thus, in many respects, telepsychiatry can provide more information than would normally be obtained in an in-person visit.
