Goals of Strength of Mind Types of Patients Treated Types of Physicians Providing Treatment Other Services Provided The Strength of Mind® website meets the needs of its clients by providing rapid response for psychiatric care. It facilitates the process of qualified physicians treating people in need. Utilizing web-based technology, a better use of patient time and physician resources helps ensure ready access to specialized care for those in need. This method creates a new level of care. It falls somewhere between self-care and traditional face-to-face physician visits. By far, the most prevalent mental illness is depression. During the course of one year, 10% of the general population suffers from clinical depression. More specific diagnoses also lend themselves to Web treatment, such as the following: social phobia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, and anxiety disorder. The targeted patient is someone with a relatively simple mental health condition, one of low risk. Typically, the more simple or stable the case, the more appropriate it is to be handled by a physician via the Web. Complicated and dangerous cases should not be handled in this manner. Therefore, new patients should have a relatively mild to moderate level of acuteness. Established patients with more complicated conditions, but who are mostly stabilized in their course of treatment and medication, are also appropriate recipients of online treatment. Patients can be men or women, but should be 18 years or older. Physicians utilizing the Strength of Mind® website to treat their patients are licensed psychiatrists. The psychiatrists are credentialed physicians specializing in mental health treatment. In addition to regular, walk-in-the-door patients, the Strength of Mind® website offers help in providing treatment to organizational groups of people, such as, company employees or community care groups.
