Dialysis patients and mental health concerns

I am writing to find out from different dialysis patients and their mental health and whether they have had any help while in the clinic with any of their mental health needs? I know globally the social workers in clinics have been overworked and dont have the bandwidth to really truly help each patient. I saw an interesting study out of UPMC and the University of New Mexico where a set of about 160 patients were given a telemedicine appointment with a clinical therapist. some of the pt from what i read, shared issues of anxiety, depression, and pain. Has anyone heard of this?
Stream of consciousness and rant over.
