Thus, we evaluated patients treated with cognitive behavioral therapy-informed psychotherapy for seizures with clinical video telehealth (CVT). We evaluated neuropsychiatric and seizure treatment outcomes in veterans diagnosed with PNES seen remotely via telehealth.

It was hypothesized that the CVT group would report less trauma history, drug use, and comorbid symptoms compared with veterans seen in-clinic.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to compare 72 veterans diagnosed with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) or concurrent mixed epilepsy and PNES who were consecutively evaluated by a single clinician at the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center (PVAMC) Neuropsychiatric Clinic.
Background: Access to mental health care is challenging. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has been addressing these challenges through technological innovations including the implementation of Clinical Video Telehealth, two-way interactive and synchronous videoconferencing between a provider and a patient, and an electronic patient portal and personal health record, My HealtheVet.
Objective: This study aimed to describe early adoption and use of My HealtheVet and Clinical Video Telehealth among VHA users with mental health diagnoses.
