Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic, which has spread across the world since March, brings the need to adapt care in various medical specialties. In psychiatry, this scenario is also a challenge for physicians in the specialty and also for psychiatric patients. What are the technical and ethical limits for the application of telemedicine in psychiatry? How should physicians adapt to provide the best possible care for their patients? How to act within medical ethics when adhering to telemedicine? These and other questions will be answered now on the ABPTV program. Doctors Antônio Geraldo da Silva, Emmanuel Fortes and Salomão Rodrigues Filho participate in the program.
