The present study used nationwide health insurance claims data to investigate the utilization of telemedicine for mental disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic and compared the characteristics of patients who received telemedicine services with those of patients who received in-person therapies. We hypothesized that people with mild mental illness would be more likely to use telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the results of this study did not confirm our hypotheses.
