Abstract
T elepsychiatry can be defined as the use of computer, Internet, and mobile technologies for the remote delivery of mental health services. Compared with traditional treatments, it may reduce costs through reduced reliance on office infrastructure, save time by eliminating the need to commute, reduce the stigma of visiting mental health clinics, and counter disorder-specific obstacles that complicate leaving the house to see a provider (eg, social anxiety disorder). A particular advantage in the pediatric population may be to address the severe shortage of mental health specialists in underserved communities. Our aim is to describe the diverse applications of pediatric telepsychiatry by highlighting research from its main categories to offer evidence-based guidance for current practice and to offer suggestions for future investigation.
