<strong>Telepsychiatry</strong> <strong>Market</strong> Overview<br />
The arrival of telecommunication technology in the 20th century truly revolutionised a number of fields.<br />
National boundaries become irrelevant <strong>and</strong> the world became one big global village. It also led to the advent<br />
of telemedicine which would have been unthinkable fifty years ago. Telemedicine is taking the help of<br />
Information Technology <strong>and</strong> telecommunication equipment to provide medical diagnoses from a distance. It<br />
helps eliminate the barriers of distance <strong>and</strong> is vital in serving far-flung rural communities with medical care.<br />
One of the main constituents of telemedicine is the telepsychiatry market. At its core, it is about using<br />

intermediary companies or even individual specialists. The telepsychiatry market has truly come of age in<br />
the 21 st century <strong>and</strong> is poised to have a very bright future.<br />
<strong>Telepsychiatry</strong> <strong>Market</strong> Drivers<br />
One of the key drivers of the telepsychiatry market, especially in the U.S. has been the severe shortage of<br />
psychiatric doctors, particularly those specialising in child & adolescent psychiatry. <strong>Telepsychiatry</strong> can allow a<br />
doctor to see a larger number of patients quicker, thus utilising their limited time to the fullest. Another<br />
driver is the rapidly improving mobile network infrastructure, enabling doctors to clinically assess <strong>and</strong> treat<br />
patients in small villages <strong>and</strong> semi-urban areas. This eliminates the need for either the doctor or patient to<br />
travel long distances, significantly saving both parties time <strong>and</strong> money. Rural areas suffer from a dearth of<br />
trained medical professionals along with a severe lack of awareness. Hence, even if they possess serious<br />
mental health issues, they might be ignored or even suppressed.<br />
