The Washington Post (8/6, Kritz) reported, “The move from high school to college can be a trying one, particularly for students with mental health concerns,” but now “there are ways to make it easier.” The Post outlined 10 tips for the transition. For those students “continuing therapy and/or medications at college and ‘who may need to change doctors and pharmacies, it is essential that these transitions take place ahead of the term … so students can avoid interruptions in their care just when their new, exciting college experience is beginning,’ says” American Psychiatric Association Committee on Telepsychiatry Chair Dr. Shabana Khan. Dr. Khan also “says changing telehealth rules make it especially crucial for students who will be attending college in a different state to find out whether they will be able to continue care with their current treating clinicians.”
