Trends In Outpatient Mental Health Services Use Before And During The COVID-19 Pandemic

Jane M. Zhu et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted mental health services in the US, leading to a decrease in in-person encounters and an increase in telehealth services. The recovery of service delivery was attributed to the adoption of telehealth, which accounted for nearly half of the monthly encounters. Different groups showed variations in the use of telehealth, with lower usage among individuals with schizophrenia and higher usage among those with anxiety and fear-related disorders. It is important to broaden access to mental health services through new modalities while ensuring necessary in-person care for certain groups.
