PSYCHIATRY

American Medical Center Psychiatry Department provides services in fields such as pediatric, adolescent and adult psychiatry.

The increasing questioning of the meaning of life in a rapidly changing world by modern people and their increasing loneliness, as well as the discovery by modern medicine that physical and mental health are a whole, have differentiated the place of psychiatry. As a result of this, the number of people who need psychological consultation and psychiatric treatment services and people who apply to our department are increasing day by day. Support in this area has become a natural necessity for the individual to maintain a healthier and happier social life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our department focusses on mental health conditions of adults, children and adolescents such as depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar mood disorders, physical symptoms related to stress, post-traumatic stress disorders, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, attention deficit and hyperactivity, personality disorders, sexual dysfunctions, interpersonal relation problems, family and marriage psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, schizophrenia and similar psychotic disorders as well as complex post-traumatic stress disorder of adults due to mental trauma in childhood. Concerning patients with additional physical conditions, we focus on the psychiatric aspects and any appropriate management of associated physical conditions as well as the continuous cultivation of connections with other relevant hospital departments.
Mental symptoms include tediousness, insomnia, unwanted thoughts, obsessions, problems in human relations, anger management problems, uncontrollable behavior, concentration deficit and loss of motivation.

Such complaints can be chronic in nature or follow a periodical pattern, such as in panic attacks or depressive episodes.

Mental problems may, sometimes, lead to physical complaints (neurotic hypertension, stress-related fainting, psychosomatic diseases, etc.). They can also be manifested by indirect signs, such as excessive eating and alcoholism.

Mental problems in children and adolescents can manifest with temper tantrums, nutritional problems, self-destructive behavior, school and education problems and difficulties in adaptation. Many adult disorders, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, and dissociative disorders, are also seen in children and adolescents and they follow a similar clinical picture.

Our department does not only help people who suffer from such symptoms but also provides patients with counseling for psychological conditions that lead to various problems in human relations as well as behavioral and mental problems.
