Child mental health is becoming a significant global concern due to increasing prevalence of mental health conditions and limited access to specialized care. The telepsychiatry approach, which uses telecommunication technologies to provide psychiatric services, has emerged as a promising solution to bridge this gap. This review explores the role of telepsychiatry in monitoring and managing child mental health. It discusses the current technologies, including video consultations, mobile applications, and wearable devices, along with their effectiveness in diagnosing, treating, and supporting children with mental health issues. The paper highlights the advancements in telepsychiatry, including AI-driven diagnostic tools and remote therapy platforms, while discussing barriers such as digital access, clinician training, and privacy concerns. This review, based on analyzing recent studies and case examples, underscores the potential that telepsychiatry brings to revolutionize child mental health care to become more accessible, cost-effective, and individualized. It leads to a discussion of future research directions and policy considerations that guarantee equitable and sustainable implementation in different populations.
