Psychology is the science of human behavior, mental processes and their interrelationships. The role of psychology in modern society is extremely important, especially in Ukraine. War... It is present in every aspect of people's lives and exhausts them financially, physically and psychologically.

A psychologist is a confidential person to whom you can entrust your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment of calm and balance.

Psychologist and Medical Psychologist: Differences

These specialists have different education and qualifications and use different methods of treatment.

A psychologist is a mental health specialist with a psychology degree, certified to help people with a wide range of mental health issues. A psychologist analyzes life situations, clarifies the causes of the difficulties that have arisen, and gives advice and recommendations without using medication.

A medical psychologist is a specialist with a medical education who specializes in psychiatry or psychotherapy and, depending on the patient's condition, may treat mental disorders with medication together with psychological methods.

When Is a Psychologist Consultation Needed?

Help from a psychologist for adults and children may be needed not only in everyday life situations but also in connection with the development of an illness or the appearance of a sick person in the family. These problems are addressed by medical psychology.

A medical psychologist is a specialist who helps to understand and cope with mental processes that are connected with medical aspects affecting everyday life in society. Working with a medical psychologist is necessary in many situations related to various manifestations of illness, a mental disorder, or problems caused by the process of diagnosis and treatment.

Psychology in medicine focuses not only on the psychological reactions that arise because of illness. A visit to a psychologist is needed first of all to assess the state of the mind and to work on the consequences of illness or of personality disorders in general, on work capacity and on interaction in the family and society. This specialist helps to create psychological well-being not only for the patient but also teaches the people around them to respond appropriately to events.

CSM has experienced psychologists who can help adults and children deal not only with problems caused by illness or its treatment but also with new conflict situations in life, fatigue, apathy, panic attacks and other psychological problems. You can book an appointment with a psychologist in life situations such as painful feelings about being fired, divorce, lack of fulfillment and so on. The methods used in psychology help to cope with various difficulties, and the individual approach used by the psychologist aims to help achieve the set goals.

Conditions

A visit to a psychologist is needed not to treat a disease but to develop skills for dealing with the psychological problems that arise during illness. Diseases are treated by doctors (neurologists, psychiatrists, cardiologists and others). Psychological support helps to develop the right attitude to the disease and the changes connected with it. A psychologist's help can also address various inner problems unrelated to somatic health.

The demand for and development of psychology in Kyiv make it possible to receive psychological counseling in almost any area. CSM has specialists who help develop a healthy attitude to problems connected with illness, or caused by lack of fulfillment, inability to react properly to stressful or conflict situations, phobias, loss or increased anxiety.

An appointment with a psychologist may be needed for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism or ASD, and developmental delay. The specialist can also help with psychological problems that arise in diseases not related to the nervous system and mind but that are connected with the activity of the central nervous system. Examples are gastric ulcer and many allergic and skin conditions, which can be triggered by stress. Developing skills to withstand stress, conflicts or inner turmoil may help reduce the number of relapses of these and many other conditions.

How Does a Consultation and Psychological Assessment Work?

Psychological assessment does not require instruments or medical equipment. At this mandatory and important stage, the specialist carefully listens to complaints, evaluates the essence of the problem, and applies knowledge and skills to analyze the situation. If necessary, various psychological tests are carried out. Analysis of the information obtained in conversation and of the test results helps the specialist plan further work with the patient.

If necessary, psychologists at CSM can work closely with doctors of different specialties. Teamwork helps to develop an adequate plan for changing the attitude of the patient and their environment to the illness or existing problems. Our center is a full-cycle clinic, where a patient or a healthy person can receive comprehensive care.

Psychological Correction and Rehabilitation

To help a client, a psychologist does more than hold consultations. Considering the clinical case, the specialist draws up a plan of psychological correction or psychological rehabilitation for the client. In addition, psychologists at CSM Clinic use muscle relaxation and laser acupuncture, and a hyperbaric chamber is also used, a method that may help improve the patient's psychological state.

The results of psychological help are not always felt quickly. How fast they appear depends on the complexity of the clinical case, the client's personal qualities, the regularity of sessions and the influence of additional external factors. In some cases, positive results are seen after the first session or a few sessions with the specialist and applying the recommended methods in daily life. For more complex problems, longer work is needed to achieve an effect.

Psychological Correction

Correction work consists of a set of measures combined into a scheme of psychological or psychotherapeutic influences aimed at stabilizing and normalizing the state of the mind and harmonizing its development. It may be needed in organic damage to the nervous system, behavioral disorders, delay in psychomotor, speech or intellectual development, long-term exposure to stress factors and so on.

The work plan may include various types of correction:

• of the emotional state;
• of behavior;
• of intellectual and sensory-perceptual activity.

During work with the client, the specialist defines the goals and tasks of each stage of correction, sets the frequency of meetings and defines milestones. Analysis of the changes taking place in the patient helps the psychologist determine when it is possible to move to the next stages of psychological support.

The aim of psychocorrection is a desirable change in the development of the personality now and in the future. At the same time, the specialist does not impose any values on the client but helps them develop the ability to manage their emotions and feelings, analyze a situation and act appropriately in it.

This type of psychological help includes a set of measures aimed at restoring the physical and psychological strength of a person with a mental disorder. Working with a specialist helps the client recover from severe psychological trauma and gain skills for managing a situation connected with illness or unpleasant events.

The services of psychologists and doctors are aimed at restoring work capacity and the ability to think productively. The measures are carried out to help the client develop a positive attitude toward family, society and life. Efforts are also directed at preventing a mental disorder from developing in patients prone to self-isolation.
