Technology-Based Applications: Electronic Communications

An alternative to telephone counseling is through other electronic communications. Many websites offer real-time interaction with their customers, many being free of charge. There are also bulletin boards and electronic mail lists providing contact and further information on professionals to their public. There are also forums and pages where people can connect with others and offer support. Other websites have detailed lists of symptoms, how to identify a possible mental illness, and methods used to treat them. It is important to note that regardless of what these lists profess to offer, to get an exact diagnosis it is necessary to talk to a conventional healthcare professional.
