Breaking the Wait: Current Delays in Accessing Mental Health Services

On average, it takes over two months to see a mental health professional in person and more than a month for a telepsychiatry visit. The median wait time for in-person appointments stands at 67 days, while telepsychiatry appointments have a median wait time of 43 days. These wait times vary across the country, with some regions experiencing even longer delays.

Several factors contribute to long wait times, including a shortage of mental health professionals, high demand for services, limited availability of specialized care, and administrative inefficiencies. The white paper delves into each of these factors in detail.

Extended wait times can exacerbate mental health conditions, increase stress and anxiety, delay treatment and recovery, and reduce overall satisfaction with the healthcare system. Our white paper discusses the various impacts of delayed access to care.
