The Behavioral Corner

In this episode of The Behavioral Corner, host Steve Martorano and addiction psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Beatty discuss the future of virtual healthcare and telemedicine, particularly in treating psychiatric disorders like depression. The conversation delves into the benefits and potential risks of telemedicine for prescribing controlled substances, highlighting the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality and acknowledging the limitations of remote treatment. Dr. Beatty also shares his experience with ketamine and S-ketamine for treating depression in-office and the strict DEA requirements surrounding their use. Additionally, the discussion addresses concerns over the rise of online medical practices driven by venture capital money and the potential dangers of forming a "pill mill." Overall, the episode emphasizes the need for patients to be cautious when seeking help online and to look for sincere practices that take steps to safeguard their patients.
