Overview

Psychiatry is a specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of individuals’ mental illnesses. In our clinic, many diseases such as depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, sexual dysfunctions, schizophrenia, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, substance addiction, social phobia, eating disorders, grief reactions and sleep disorders are diagnosed, treated and monitored.

Mental illness symptoms are one of the most important issues in diagnosing psychiatric patients. When diagnosing, genetic causes are investigated. Diagnosis is made by methods such as clinical interview, certain scales and psychological tests, and when necessary, blood tests and imaging methods are also used to exclude physical (physiological) diagnosis.

In our clinic, mental and physical health are evaluated as a whole. When mental health deteriorates, it can also cause physical health to deteriorate. Treatment of mental illnesses is usually done with the use of medication and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, just like drug therapy, is determined and applied by experts.
