NEW TREND- TELETHERAPY IN 2020

In India, one out of seven individuals suffer from mental illness and are unaware!!

SO THIS BRINGS US TO WHAT IS MENTAL ILLNESS?

In most simple words it is a disorder that affects your mood thinking and behavior.

This should not be treated any differently than physical illness. The two are inseparable, the whole body is connected and interwoven and cannot be separated. When the brain is ill it cannot be just isolated but in fact, affects the whole body and overall wellness. And the prevailing stigma keeps people away from getting appropriate help.

Due to an increase in digitalization people have access to everything in one touch and this has led to significant awareness regarding mental health and illness. So have the therapies gone digital with teletherapy providing benefits to one who cannot have access due to numerous reasons.

ACCESSIBILITY 

One can have easy access to teletherapy from a safe quiet place in the home. One can consider getting out in nature in the yard or garden for a session. These sessions can be flexible and one can schedule a time that is best for them.

Teletherapy poses a benefit for people with physical limitations or staying at remote places who cannot get access to the center.

COST

Teletherapy sessions are pocket friendly and can have a therapist from anywhere in the world depending on the ratings recommendations and laws.

 CONFIDENTIALITY 

All therapy sessions are very confidential but in teletherapy sessions, you can choose to disclose your identity. These therapies may work as a good starter for people with social anxiety or are scared to accept help due to the prevailing stigma.

SERVICES

 Teletherapy sessions provide various ways to connect to the therapist.

One can message, video call, or voice text the therapist anytime without an appointment. The therapist may require time to revert back but surely is a convenient and easy way. 

One may have a question that a therapist cannot empathize the same way as they do in in-person therapy. But through video calls, a therapist can get closest to a person like in an in-person therapy session.

 A GOOD THERAPIST WILL ADDRESS THE MATTER EFFECTIVELY IN-PERSON AND ALSO ONLINE.

         ALWAYS ANY THERAPY IS BETTER THAN NO THERAPY
