Tackling mild depression: “iCBT was perfect for me.”
Извор: Светска здравствена организација - 04.04.2017
WHO
Telepsychiatry, also known as eMental health, is being used increasingly widely, especially in the form of internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT). After an initial assessment to determine a patient’s suitability for iCBT, a doctor prescribes the online course, which is done segment by segment. The patient’s progress is monitored by a mental health professional who can be contacted at any time.
Providing iCBT for non-severe mental health difficulties such as mild depression and anxiety is becoming commonplace in Scandinavian countries as well as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Preliminary research indicates that, under the right conditions, it can be an effective alternative or complement to face-to-face therapy.
