This article discusses the opportunities and risks of new technologies in psychiatric treatment, taking into account the principles of medical ethics. Telepsychiatric treatments can promote self-determination in the home environment as opposed to institutionalisation but carry the risk of uncontrolled data sharing. They harbour risks of potential harm such as social isolation, negative effects on the doctor-patient relationship and long-term changes in patient behaviour through, for example, VR. In terms of justice, demographic and psychopathological factors could result in unequal access to telepsychiatry, with questionable sustainability effects. The anonymity of telepsychiatry threatens alienation, while moral considerations cannot be replaced by AI for the time being. It is obligatory to carefully weigh up the benefits and risks of telepsychiatry, but especially in rural areas they could optimise care.Precisely because of ethical concerns, further intensive research is necessary to weigh up the risks and benefits. The development of telepsychiatric systems requires transdisciplinary co-operation.

In the following review, the thrombocytic serotonin system and the respective targets of the different antidepressants are explained. Subsequently, the available literature on bleeding under the respective antidepressant classes or individual substances is presented, using data from meta-analyses whenever possible. In addition to the risk of bleeding in general, individual bleeding entities are also considered, such as gastrointestinal and cerebral hemorrhages. Finally, the effects of other drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (i. e., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, platelet aggregation inhibitors and anticoagulants) in combination with antidepressant drugs are discussed.
