Telehealth, Computer-, and Internet-based Approaches to Treating Depression and Anxiety

There is a great need for evidence-based treatments for depression and anxiety that are cost-effective, efficiently delivered, and highly accessible. Telehealth, computer, and Internet interventions are efficacious and have the potential to broaden access to treatment for depression and anxiety. These interventions are cost-effective and increase treatment accessibility for individuals who would otherwise be unlikely to receive appropriate care, and their anonymity reduces the stigma of help-seeking. This chapter discusses these treatment approaches, their efficacy, and their limitations.
