Anxiety is both a mental and physical state of negative expectation. Mentally it is characterized by increased arousal and apprehension tortured into distressing worry, and physically by unpleasant activation of multiple body systems—all to facilitate response to an unknown danger, whether real or imagined.

The cognitive feelings of dread in anticipation of some bad outcome, and physical sensations such as jitteriness and a racing heart are designed for discomfort. Anxiety is meant to capture attention and stimulate you to make necessary changes to protect what you care about. Occasional bouts of anxiety are natural and can even be productive. Anxiety can be considered the price we humans pay for having the ability to imagine the future.

Mindful TelePsych offers new and existing patients the opportunity to consult with licensed providers and receive care via their mobile devices in the comfort of their own homes & offices. This combination of telepsych and dedicated urgent care facilities enhances the opportunity for patient adherence, symptom stabilization and overall recovery. TelePsych has also allowed Mindful to treat new and existing patients without interruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://www.mindfulurgentcare.com/virtual-psychiatry-consultation/

Mindful Urgent Care is a revolutionary urgent care psychiatry practice providing the residents of New York, New Jersey and Illinois with exceptional same-day treatment for addiction and a wide range of mental health issues. With 8 office locations and a robust Telehealth platform, Mindful delivers premier mental health care while remaining accessible to those individuals who need it most. Psychiatric care in the U.S. remains a largely broken system with patients waiting on average 6-8 weeks to see an in-network prescribing clinician. Moreover, patients are confronted with no immediate relief options (other than visiting ERs) and no technology support to monitor and maintain care. Mindful solves these challenges with same-day in-network psychiatric and addiction care, immediate non-habit forming medication and symptom stabilization and ongoing long-term care via its TelePsych platform. Mindful maintains strong referral relationships with leading hospital systems and is covered by most major health insurance plans. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Mindful has transitioned all of its services to its TelePsych platform and is actively counseling patients to better cope with this unprecedented public health crisis. Mindful continues to monitor public health developments and its practitioners look forward to meeting with patients in person in the near future.

Standard hospital-based protocols require ER admittance and/or psychiatric ward admittance to commence treatment. Mindful TelePsych can serve as the initial patient-provider encounter or supplementary care option for patients post in-person encounter in a Mindful urgent care facility. Ease of access to Mindful TelePsych and Mindful Urgent Care facilities provides the opportunity for enhanced patient compliance, symptom stabilization and recovery.

Combination of urgent care facilities and the telepsych platform allows Mindful to more effectively respond to patients in crisis. Telepsych-only competitors are forced to send patients in crisis to emergency rooms while Mindful is capable of leveraging its office-based locations. Mindful TelePsych also has broader functionality than competitive offerings including data collection and aggregation, medication refills, appointment scheduling, bi-weekly symptoms monitoring and group therapy reminders. Mindful TelePsych's focus is broader as well; https://www.mindfulurgentcare.com/patient-resources/psychiatrist-virtual-consultation
