It’d be interesting if this meant psychiatrists were allowed to send prescriptions for certain controlled substances with critical shortages over state lines. It probably won’t happen, because the DEA created those shortages intentionally, but it would sure be nice.

Now that probably raises alarm bells to some, but that would be part of integrating mental healthcare across state lines. Several controlled substances are critical in psychiatry.

That telehealth aspect makes me a lot less supportive of this whole thing, TBH. Empirically speaking, telehealth for mental healthcare has been kind of a disaster. BetterHelp is a gross scam. Done and Cerebral were running a nationwide pill mill during the rona. Telehealth should be more regulated, not less. You should have to see the provider in person occasionally IMO.

I thought this was about transferring licenses, not practicing in 19 states simultaneously. The only people that sounds good to, are Silicon Valley grifters trying to commoditize mental healthcare.
