Outpatient Treatment Unit

The need for outpatient services was born for the first time in the 1950s. This outpatient model was needed because of the outpatient planning and follow-up of the treatment of chronic patients who did not need to stay in the hospital for a long time and to apply psychotherapy methods that could not be applied due to time in the outpatient clinic conditions. These patients are evaluated with the same team and a trust-based relationship is established, and patients are compliant with treatment.

In this model, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety disorders are followed and treated. In addition, treatment is performed in specific areas such as sleep disorders, eating disorders and sexual dysfunction. It is aimed to reduce the exacerbation and recurrence rates of the disease, to be an alternative to hospitalization and to shorten the length of hospitalization by improving the treatment cooperation with the patients in the Outpatient Units. Coping with stubborn symptoms during the treatment process and teaching to live with them, involving people from the family or immediate environment in the treatment relationship and improving the quality of life of the person as a whole are other targets.

In the Outpatient Treatment Unit of our clinic, psychiatrists and assistant doctors serve together with the psychologist. According to the treatment plan, drug treatment, individual and group psychotherapies, individual and family counseling services are provided.

Emergency Service and Consultation

Consultations requested from the emergency department and other clinical units are evaluated by the senior assistant doctors together with the consultant specialist of the day, as determined monthly.
