Research shows us that telehealth is just as effective as F2F for most forms of mental health issues including depression, all anxiety and related disorders, and for a broad array of less common mental health conditions. The jury is still out on whether telehealth is as good as face to face for more severe mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar, where a multidisciplinary team and/or an inpatient setting may better support you.
Due to the nature of telehealth support, Someone.health services are most appropriate for people experiencing low to moderate risk. For assessing levels of risk, we take, and encourage our clinicians to take, guidance from the National Mental Health Initial Assessment and Referral Decision Support Tool and supporting guidance documentation. Within these guidelines, Someone.health services are most appropriate for risk levels 1 (self-managed interventions), 2 (low-intensity services required), and 3 (moderate-intensity services required).
Many people prefer telehealth as they see it as more secure, private, and convenient.
