If we can use apps to order dinner and video chats to stay in touch with family, we can use new technology to keep each other healthy.
Picture this: you're in the middle of a global pandemic, and suddenly, everything goes digital—even your mental health care. In this episode of 'Quick Takes', Dr. David Gratzer sits down with Dr. Jay Shore, chair of the American Psychiatric Association's Telepsychiatry Committee, to chat about how virtual care has skyrocketed during these unprecedented times. They dive into the ups and downs of this rapid shift, from the convenience of hybrid care solutions to the fatigue of endless Zoom calls. Dr.
Shore shares some invaluable tips for those new to virtual health, like setting up a comfy, well-lit space and taking tech breaks to avoid burnout. They also touch on the digital divide—how not everyone has equal access to this new way of receiving care—and what that means for the future. If you're curious about how mental health services might evolve post-pandemic and want some practical advice on navigating this digital landscape, this episode is a must-listen.
