CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is causing a rethink of treatment. 
It asks a patient to think about their feelings and behavior and thus 
influence subsequent behavior. This is a good answer for the patients 
with emotional problems in primary care. It enhances coping skills. 
This is a different approach from the attempt to cure an illness that 
does not exist. We can now offer Online CBT in a Self-Help format 
over the Internet.

Compliance and adherence: This is not a problem inherent only to 
Psychiatry. Doctors are not trained to explain and ensure compliance. 
They do not have the time to do simple weekly follow ups. This is 
easily done using the Internet web sites.

Medical Management: Uniform systematic treatment is essential. It is 
possible to ascertain accurately patient needs and utilization. It is 
possible to follow the two parameters in real time. Thus ensuring 
efficient performance of the Mental-Health system as a unit. 
Alongside this, the individual patient is never unknowingly lost. 
This can be done in real time and online.
