Psychiatry in Kyiv

Need help from a specialist in psychiatry in Kyiv? Interested in making an appointment to see a psychiatrist? Are you worried about nervous tension, burnout, constant fatigue and irritation, panic attacks, insomnia or other symptoms? At the Centre for Brain Stimulation competent specialists provide comprehensive advice on any, even the most complex psychiatric disorders.

Many people refuse to see a psychiatrist because they are ashamed to admit even to themselves that they have a mental health problem. But in fact, seeing a psychiatrist is just as important as seeing any other specialist doctor: an ear nose throat doctor, a surgeon, a dentist or a trauma surgeon. A psychiatrist is a specialist with specialized medical education. Psychiatry is a separate branch of clinical medicine that studies, diagnoses and seeks ways to treat mental disorders. Therefore, do not delay in seeking qualified medical care and take care of your health today.

Who and When Does Need a Help of Psychiatrists?

Psychiatrist means "healer of souls". In ancient times, disorders of the mind, consciousness and will were considered "mental illnesses". A good psychiatrist will confirm or rule out the existence of a disorder. Consultation with a psychiatrist is necessary if mental disorders are suspected. It is also necessary to obtain a medical certificate for admission to higher education, for service in the uniformed services, for drivers and those working in special institutions.

Modern psychiatry also makes it possible to assess the risk of developing mental disorders. Advice on how to prevent these will be obtained from a psychiatrist.

Psychotherapy is a branch of psychiatry that is responsible for the non-medical treatment with various forms of psychotherapeutic techniques aimed at treating various forms of mental disorders of a non-psychotic level (asthenic syndrome, depression, gambling addiction, emotional burnout, anxiety syndrome and psychosomatic problems).

There are also counselling, military, emergency and other areas of psychiatry that deal with various mental illnesses and conditions. The types of mental disorders that psychiatrists treat can be listed for a very long time.

At our Centre, specialists deal with many illnesses. The main focus is on the problems with which we are most commonly approached:

• Depression and depressive disorders
• Anxiety and manic disorders
• Panic attacks
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Mental disorders after a coronavirus
• Personality disorders (paranoid, antisocial, hysterical, narcissistic, etc.)
• Alcoholism and other addictions

Mental disorders can be treated more easily if help is sought early. You should not be afraid to agree to be examined by a psychiatrist due to prejudice. There will not be any coercion; it is even possible to consult a psychiatrist anonymously. In addition, it is not only patients with severe mental illness who need the help of a doctor. Not everyone can deal with their worries and mental problems independently. Often such attempts lead to a worsening of the situation and the development of somatic disorders. Postponing a visit is dangerous to your overall health.

Contraindications

A private psychiatrist's appointment at a health centre has its limitations. A patient with acute psychosis, severe suicidal tendencies or life-threatening behaviour cannot be admitted to the clinic.

All questions relating to restrictions and contraindications for psychiatric examination are resolved individually and with the consent of the patient. Underage persons are only consulted by our doctors in the presence of their parents/guardians.

Diagnostics

A psychiatrist's appointment at the Centre for Brain Stimulation begins with an interview with the patient's informed consent (or their representatives), gathering anamnestic data about their life and the course of their illness. It is, therefore, best to prepare for the interview in advance; you can even write down your doubts, symptoms, and concerns. The next stage of diagnostics at the psychiatrist's appointment is to describe the patient's mental state based on subjective and objective data and testing. The doctor assesses the adequacy of the patient's perception and examines the state of mental functions.

A diagnosis is made based on the overall clinical picture and test results. In addition, the following may be prescribed:

• general clinical and biochemical blood tests;
• sugar tests, hormone tests;
• MRI scans of the brain;
• electroencephalography (EEG);
• doppler sonography of cerebral vessels;
• psychological examination.

This approach allows mental disorders to be accurately diagnosed and differentiated from other pathologies, including those caused by infection, intoxication, trauma and cancer. Examinations are prescribed on an individual basis, after which the specialist prescribes the appropriate treatment.

The first includes talking, art therapy, music, and hypnosis. In the second case, antidepressants, neuroleptics, tranquillizers, mood stabilizers, sedatives and sleeping pills may be prescribed. Physiotherapy, massage and a hyperbaric chamber can improve the results in the treatment of mental illness.

If the illness has been triggered by another pathology, treatment is carried out with the participation of doctors of the relevant specialities - cardiologist, neurologist, oncologist, endocrinologist, etc.
