Abstract:
Telepsychiatry has rapidly expanded as a response to the growing mental health needs of college students. This cross-sectional evaluation surveyed 376 students across three universities regarding usage, satisfaction and effectiveness of telepsychiatry. Results showed significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms, high satisfaction and reduced missed appointments, particularly with video-based consultations. Privacy, connectivity and rapport were key barriers. Thus, we show that telepsychiatry is an effective and acceptable alternative to in-person care, though implementation should address engagement and privacy concerns.
