What Conditions Doesn’t Wellvue Treat?

In a virtual care setting, while many conditions can be managed effectively, some may require in-person care due to their complexity or the need for physical health assessments. Examples of conditions that may not be suitable for virtual care include, but are not limited to:

  • Severe Eating Disorders: These often require close medical monitoring.
  • Certain Types of Substance Use Disorders: Disorders that necessitate detoxification in a medically supervised environment.
  • Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders: Physical observation is critical for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Acute Suicidal Ideation or Behaviours: These require immediate intervention and can be life-threatening.
  • Acute Crisis Situations: Situations necessitating immediate physical intervention or hospitalisation.
  • Certain Neurological Disorders: Moderate to severe dementia or other conditions requiring comprehensive neurological evaluations.
  • Severe, Unstable Medical Conditions: Conditions that could influence mental health treatment and require close physical monitoring.

Each of these conditions involves nuances and risks that may exceed the capabilities of virtual care platforms and are best managed with direct, in-person healthcare services.
