Online psychiatric session | Telepsychiatry

The same specialized care — from your own space, at your own time.

What is telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry is not a “substitute” for an in-person visit. It is a different and equally effective form of care for many patient groups and conditions. Through a secure, encrypted video call, you can have:

• Psychiatric follow-up visits, including medication review, symptom assessment and treatment adjustment
• Psychotherapy sessions, including CBT, relaxation techniques and coping skills
• A second opinion regarding diagnosis or current treatment

Who is an online session suitable for?

Online sessions are particularly suitable for:

• Patients outside Athens who cannot travel for every follow-up visit
• People with demanding schedules who struggle to find time during working hours
• Patients with agoraphobia or social anxiety, for whom leaving home is itself a therapeutic obstacle
• People in a stabilization phase who no longer need frequent in-person visits but want continuity of care

Which cases require an in-person visit?

Some situations require physical presence during initial assessment or certain phases of treatment:

• First psychiatric assessment, for the most complete clinical picture possible
• PGx sample collection, such as buccal swab or blood test
• rTMS sessions, which require presence at the center
• Acute conditions or crises requiring immediate clinical assessment
