Abstract

Our reliance on tele-health services has increased considerably over the last couple of years since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has changed the landscape of psychiatric practice considerably. The telepsychiatry operational guidelines were published by a collaboration of leading governing bodies to provide explicit structured guideline regarding the same. However, the experience of using this guideline over the last 2 years has brought forth a few limitations which have been highlighted in the current manuscript. Recommendations based on the review have also been provided.
