Digital opportunities for mental health care
This short report presents the opportunities and challenges associated with digital mental health care and describes the technological tools available.
A number of studies have shown a considerable increase in anxiety and depression during the pandemic. At the same time, studies show that apps and online services can lower the threshold for seeking help for mental health problems and that the results achieved can be just as good as the help obtained from meeting a psychologist in his/her office.
