Human beings are social animals and the only measure that can restrict the
spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is social distancing. Thus everyone is
supposed to follow distancing and even lockdown in a few countries/states
which has created a dilemma in mental health care. Physical distancing is
turning into emotional distancing for some. People away from each other result
in more people seeking psychological treatment for
anxiety, stress and depression.
Undoubtedly the current circumstances are mentally challenging and emotionally
draining. All of us are going through a collective communal trauma. In fact, a
massive hike has been observed in the number of people reaching out to get
therapy support ever since the lockdown. Besides new cases, people with
in-lined or scheduled appointments with psychologists or counsellors are
suffering too. At the same time, providing these services has become
difficult for mental health professionals to provide services and reach in
person due to the lockdown. Thus,
Online Therapy
has become a saviour during the lockdown scenario.
If you want to shift from conventional offline counselling sessions to online
ones, fortunately, platforms like HopeQure provide certified
psychiatrists
and psychologists.
You may continue to receive psychological aid/services via online mode without
being bothered about the lockdown.
Your appointments would not get postponed rather you will have a better
session experience with the comfort of your home, ease of your time and safety
of your private device.
