Use of Telehealth as an Adjunct to Conventional Mental Health Care.

The lack of resources for mental health diagnosis and treatment contributes greatly to maternal morbidity and mortality. Social and cultural barriers, along with the impact of social determinants of health create burdens that prevent mothers from accessing care and treatment. Telehealth care improves access and is widely accepted by clinicians, patients, and their families by reducing need for in person visits, providing privacy, and decreasing costs.
