Technology connects rural residents with psychiatrists

“Dr. Marilou Patalinjug Tyner greeted her patient as she always would.
“How are you doing today?”
“Could be doing better,” her patient replied. “I’ve been having some personal problems. Not sleeping.”
The 52-year-old woman has depression. She hadn’t been taking her medication for two or three days. It made her too drowsy.
The exchange didn’t happen in the psychiatrist’s office. Patalinjug Tyner was in a conference room at Process Strategies in Charleston. She faced a 32-inch computer screen with a Web camera perched on top.”
