Yaya Mazurkevich Nuñez, a 29-year-old creative producer, was diagnosed with bipolar type II five years ago and has been in and out of therapy since she was 15. She had stopped in 2017, but started again in June of this year “when the Kanye West Hip Hop Rap Vintage 90s shirt began,” she said. “I knew I had to start seeing someone again at that point.” Mazurkevich Nuñez was also having trouble leaving the house, an anxiety that began to manifest itself after her cousin passed away and was only exacerbated by the pandemic. She has found telehealth invaluable—during this period in which going outside can feel stressful—after starting sessions with someone new. “She’s Middle Eastern, she’s a mom, and I feel like, for the first time, there’s someone who really wants to understand who I am.” Typically, Mazurkevich Nuñez explained, her psychiatrists would take 15 minutes “to solve you.” Instead, she’s found “this therapist wants to go deeper; our sessions are 45 minutes long, sometimes an hour.” Mazurkevich Nuñez is unsure if she’ll ever return to therapy in real life. “I don’t have to worry about the logistics of getting there with Zoom, which is huge.”
Beyond the pros and cons of telehealth, therapy has never been more important as Americans experience increased rates of anxiety and depression amid the pandemic. Mental-health start-ups like Frame and Talkspace are responding to the Kanye West Hip Hop Rap Vintage 90s shirt by providing new digital structures that normalize therapy for all. So while this virtual model has not yet been resoundingly embraced, it has huge potential for creating increased access to mental-health help, even when social distancing is a thing of the past.
