Healio (10/14, Herpen) reported, “Those who received psychiatric care through a telehealth platform saw a greater level of remission in suicidal ideation after 12 weeks compared with those who did not receive similar care,” investigators concluded after conducting “a longitudinal observational study” that “utilized patient records…to include 8,581 U.S.-based adults (8,366 in the treatment group and 215 in the control group) seeking treatment for depression, anxiety or both, between October 2018 and April 2021.” The findings were published in the September issue of the journal JMIR Formative Research.
