i Register
In some senses, teletherapy is marked as archaic. Watch for register when choosing this word.
noun
A (nonscientific or pseudoscientific) form of (alleged) medical therapy involving telepathy; also (archaically) called the absent treatment.
noun
Radiotherapy using a source of ionizing radiation at some distance from the patient, typically tens of centimetres.
noun
Talk therapy delivered remotely via telecommunications such as telephone audio calls and video calls.
The experience of being a patient through services like these will vary. Plenty of people who sign up for teletherapy through services like BetterHelp will have their needs met. I currently use a telehealth service provided by my insurance that matched me with a local practitioner in order to access medication, and I’m happy with it.
