Frankly, as I read stories like this, I would agree that these services do need to go away completely.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Others in the industry have also grown disillusioned by the intersection of business and mental health. Jason Meisel, a New York City-based nurse practitioner, formerly worked at Ahead, a virtual mental-health provider that shut down in June. He says patients often got \u201clost in the shuffle,\u201d and multiple days sometimes passed before they heard back from a provider. He also felt that the platform wasn\u2019t careful enough with its hiring decisions, bringing on clinicians who were fresh out of school and unprepared for the workload.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately, the article has a few stories that make it evident that some of these tech startups acted like, well, tech startups. Putting growth and valuation above all else. Patient care and qualified therapists who were enabled to do quality work for those patients; were shorted in service to bring in more appointments. That&#8217;s not really how health care of any kind works, let alone mental health treatments. I might believe that technology can be part of the solution, but that assumes that the people running these technology companies act in the patient&#8217;s best interest, not their business interests.<\/p>\n<p>As much as I hate to admit it, this quote from the lobbyist rang true to me:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For Torous, skepticism about certain telepsych companies is separate from his belief in the promise of telehealth as a whole. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3662387\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies have repeatedly shown<\/a> that virtual mental-health care can work, and that both patients and providers like the experience. The problem isn\u2019t with telehealth as a concept, he argues, but with the way it\u2019s being implemented by startups trying to maximize profits. Squeezing in as many appointments as possible might deliver on that goal, but it won\u2019t fulfill promises made to patients, Torous says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is some vested interest in the statement above. That doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s false, though. Even though some companies might have gotten this all wrong, we still have the same issues we&#8217;ve had with mental health services that we&#8217;ve had for years. It&#8217;s too difficult for too many people to access. Technology can help eliminate some hurdles preventing people from getting help. That is worth doing when it&#8217;s done right. Those services can and should go away when it&#8217;s not done right. The fact that many are indicates that chasing money is not the way.<\/p>\n<p>That shouldn&#8217;t ever be the way. It doesn&#8217;t mean online therapy itself is a bad idea, though. We must be careful to get it right.<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><span class=\"syn-text\">Also on:<\/span><ul class=\"relsyn\"><li><a aria-label=\"tumblr\" class=\"u-syndication syn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/view\/t:c4gTZash4jhfc6YyjwLx0A\/703084716352471040\"> <span class=\"syndication-link-icon svg-tumblr\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 1rem; margin: 2px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Tumblr\" title=\"Tumblr\" ><svg role=\"img\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><title>Tumblr<\/title><path d=\"M14.563 24c-5.093 0-7.031-3.756-7.031-6.411V9.747H5.116V6.648c3.63-1.313 4.512-4.596 4.71-6.469C9.84.051 9.941 0 9.999 0h3.517v6.114h4.801v3.633h-4.82v7.47c.016 1.001.375 2.371 2.207 2.371h.09c.631-.02 1.486-.205 1.936-.419l1.156 3.425c-.436.636-2.4 1.374-4.156 1.404h-.178l.011.002z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"flipboard\" class=\"u-syndication syn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/flipboard.com\/@mikemac29\/child-abuse-survivors-8o2743fsz\"> <span class=\"syndication-link-icon svg-flipboard\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 1rem; margin: 2px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Flipboard\" title=\"Flipboard\" ><svg role=\"img\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><title>Flipboard<\/title><path d=\"M0 0v24h24V0H0zm19.2 9.6h-4.8v4.8H9.6v4.8H4.8V4.8h14.4v4.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"facebook\" class=\"u-syndication syn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/219569363651\/posts\/757339299549370\"> <span class=\"syndication-link-icon svg-facebook\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 1rem; margin: 2px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Facebook\" title=\"Facebook\" ><svg role=\"img\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><title>Facebook<\/title><path d=\"M9.101 23.691v-7.98H6.627v-3.667h2.474v-1.58c0-4.085 1.848-5.978 5.858-5.978.401 0 .955.042 1.468.103a8.68 8.68 0 0 1 1.141.195v3.325a8.623 8.623 0 0 0-.653-.036 26.805 26.805 0 0 0-.733-.009c-.707 0-1.259.096-1.675.309a1.686 1.686 0 0 0-.679.622c-.258.42-.374.995-.374 1.752v1.297h3.919l-.386 2.103-.287 1.564h-3.246v8.245C19.396 23.238 24 18.179 24 12.044c0-6.627-5.373-12-12-12s-12 5.373-12 12c0 5.628 3.874 10.35 9.101 11.647Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"x\" class=\"u-syndication syn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CA_Survivor\/status\/1733231123784958107\"> <span class=\"syndication-link-icon svg-x\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 1rem; margin: 2px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"X\" title=\"X\" ><svg role=\"img\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><title>X<\/title><path d=\"M18.901 1.153h3.68l-8.04 9.19L24 22.846h-7.406l-5.8-7.584-6.638 7.584H.474l8.6-9.83L0 1.154h7.594l5.243 6.932ZM17.61 20.644h2.039L6.486 3.24H4.298Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><span class=\"kt-load-after-post\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though some companies might have gotten this all wrong, we still have the same issues we&#8217;ve had with mental health services that we&#8217;ve had for years.
