Demand for mental health services has skyrocketed since the COVID-19 pandemic began. What’s driving the increased demand, and how can psychologists meet it? | via texasstandard
shows that the demand for mental health services has continued to climb since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. A majority of the psychologists surveyed said they saw higher numbers of patients that needed treatment for anxiety, depression and substance abuse. But 60% of them also said they were too busy to take on new patients.
Yes. Right now in the state of Texas, we’re seeing an increased demand for mental health care. I do have colleagues in the field that are no longer taking patients. We have community mental health programs that cater to the different underserved areas having a waitlist. And unfortunately, many people are not being seen.
You’re correct. Many people resort to either their primary physicians or the emergency room when they’re having these panic-like symptoms, which really many times it’s anxiety. Sometimes depression can lead someone to seek emergency care in the local hospital, in the waiting rooms.
One thing that we could look at in a positive lens during this pandemic has been the access to mental health programming in a different platform. Underserved communities like rural communities have been using telehealth for quite some time. In Texas, we have a lot of rural and underserved areas. We have families traveling 3 to 6 hours to see a psychologist. Rural health programs in the United States have used telehealth, so they were at an advantage when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
