Patients Warn Mental Health Surveillance Could Undermine Care
Original: Patients Warn That Mental Health Surveillance Could Undermine Care
Patient advocates are warning that surveillance practices in mental health care could erode trust and deter people from seeking treatment. Critics argue that monitoring patients, whether through digital tools or institutional oversight, risks making people less candid with clinicians and could ultimately worsen outcomes rather than improve safety. The concerns add to a broader debate over privacy and coercion in psychiatric care.
Why now: Growing use of monitoring and data collection in mental health services has raised fresh concerns among patients and advocates.
