Abstract:

The paper brings an overview of services based on the use of information and communication technologies which are aimed at mental health. The current growth of e-health presents many opportunities and challenges for public health. Provision of interventions targeting mental health and wellbeing is an important domain of the e-health environment. In Poland, we also face a rapid development of online psychotherapy services also called e-therapy. Other terms are also in use. Clear recommendations and regulations are needed to address the potential risks of such interventions.
