In etwa so gestaltet sich jedoch die Situation im Bereich der psychischen Erkrankungen.

Dr. Rosenlicht explains the disastrous outcomes of the for-profit mental health care model. Patients are “clients” and doctors are “providers,” stripping away the humanity and emboldening shifty ethical and legal practices. Perhaps most insidious, the business model paints the mentally ill as people who don’t want help, rather than someone who can’t afford care or even realize they need help because of their illness. Mental illness will touch all of us in some way, if not directly through those we know and love.

Technological advances have done little to help the worrying trend of out-of-control costs and physician shortages. But there is a solution that could help millions of Americans get more affordable, convenient access to care: telehealth. Telehealth is a solution that helps combat these trends, but it has not yet lived up to its expectations. Many of the current products in the market are ineffective, because brokers, insurance companies, and major telehealth companies are more concerned with their own profits than with providing real solutions.
