Opinion: Despite social distancing, therapists must go on. How I am prioritizing my psychiatry patients amid a pandemic.
With my health recovered, I have a new problem: How am I supposed to be a psychiatrist while I’m quarantined in a studio apartment? Our hospital system got telehealth visits up and running quickly, but I have no privacy. As I type this, my partner is lying in bed coughing and trying to take conference calls. My puppy is running around between us, chasing his tail.But I won’t give up on my patients.
My patients also complain that they don’t have privacy on their side of the phone. Working from home with their families, most don’t have a private space to talk with me. Young children are barging into the room asking for snacks. Sometimes spouses are only a few feet away. Are they eavesdropping? Sessions have become strained as patients censor themselves in front of their families. Therapy on display is not effective.Sign up for our Coronavirus Updates newsletter to track the outbreak.
