Session Description
Telepsychiatry can be defined as the delivery of health care and the exchange of health care information for purposes of providing psychiatric services across distances. While it has advantages like accessibility, availability, convenience, etc., it also has certain challenges such as the digital literacy of the population, confidentiality issues, management in crisis or emergency situations. With the advent of COVID-19 pandemic, telepsychiatry has got integrated into the clinic in most of the countries worldwide. In the current symposium, early career psychiatrists from Asian Region (India, Nepal and Thailand) will bring to the audience their experiences about initiation and continuation of telepsychiatry services in their countries during COVID-19. They will also recommend strategies for addressing the challenges and issues of telepsychiatry services
