Other Research
Common treatments for mental disorders include pharmacological interventions and telehealth services. Medications like antipsychotics, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers work by adjusting neurotransmitter levels in the brain to stabilize mood, reduce psychotic symptoms, and alleviate depression.
Telehealth interventions, such as those studied in the Medherent platform, enhance medication adherence and health outcomes by providing remote access to healthcare services, continuous monitoring, and timely interventions. This approach is crucial for patients with serious mental illnesses who face barriers to in-person care, offering a more flexible and accessible way to manage their conditions and improve overall health outcomes.
