\u2014 REASONS FOR CONSULTATION<\/h6>\n

Reasons for consultation and specialities<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In our center we have gathered a great deal of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of the most frequent reasons for consultation, such as depressive disorders, anxiety, all kinds of fears and phobias, as well as relationship or problems with a partner. These disorders, which are very frequent in the general population and generate important limitations, often require an adequate assessment and a specific approach to solve them satisfactorily. Our aim is to strive for an optimal recovery of each patient.<\/p>\n

We also act as a reference center to offer second diagnostic and therapeutic opinions for all types of disorders, or for those patients with complex pathologies who have not responded adequately to previous treatments.<\/p>\n

Our vision of medicine and the treatment of mental disorders involves teamwork. A first-rate treatment implies that professionals must communicate with each other to develop a 360-degree view of the patient.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Anxiety<\/h4>

Anxiety, in its different manifestations (anticipatory anxiety, exaggerated suffering, agoraphobia, apprehension, hypochondriasis, panic attacks, ...) is a very frequent reason for consultation, perhaps due to the hectic pace of life and the uncertainties that surround us.<\/p>\n

Nowadays we have very effective therapies to help to control these manifestations and to recover the tranquility and the emotional well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Adult Attention Deficit \/ Hyperactivity Disorder \n(Adult ADHD)<\/h4>

It is the most frequent disorder of neurobiological origin in childhood and adolescence. Although on many occasions the problem is resolved at the beginning of adulthood, many adults continue to manifest symptoms.<\/p>\n

It is necessary to make a good diagnosis and analyze the patient\u2019s personal context to tailor the optimal therapeutic approach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Bipolar disorder<\/h4>

Bipolar disorder and cyclothymia are illnesses in which the mood oscillates, with periods of excessive well-being and others of profound sadness.<\/p>\n

The mood becomes very unstable, with frequent oscillations. Their correct treatment depends on an individualized assessment that allows for the establishment of a medium to long-term therapeutic strategy to achieve lasting mood stability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) <\/h4>

This is a very common disorder in which patients can experience obsessive thoughts and intrusive ideas, as well as compulsive behaviors or repetitive acts, which can cause severe distress and suffering.<\/p>\n

The disorder often begins in childhood or adolescence, and years may pass before help is sought. An early and accurate diagnosis helps prevent the progression of the illness and control the highly disruptive and distressing phenomena it causes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Depression<\/h4>

Symptoms such as sadness, feelings of helplessness, worthlessness, or hopelessness can be due to a depressive disorder. Depression is an illness that can be very severe and cause immense suffering and distress, making it potentially highly disabling and devastating. Few illnesses cause the same degree of suffering.<\/p>\n

A proper evaluation allows for an accurate diagnosis and the initiation of the most appropriate treatment approach. Fortunately, it is a condition that responds remarkably well to proper treatment, enabling a full recovery and preventing future episodes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Psychosomatic disorders<\/h4>

There are times when we experience disorders and bodily imbalances that are difficult to diagnose and treat, causing patients to seek help among different doctors. Alterations of the digestive rhythm, irritable colon, diarrhea, skin or hair alterations, headaches, feelings of instability, dizziness, tinnitus, or chronic pain are examples of manifestations that often materialize in a neurovegetative dysfunction.<\/p>\n

The correct evaluation of these symptoms from a holistic approach is the first step to find the optimal solution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>

Stress and post-traumatic stress disorder<\/h4>

Stress refers to the unjustified or exaggerated presence of body reactions that are otherwise designed to help us endure difficult or demanding situations. The complexity and difficulties of today's life, work overload and burnout, economic and relationship worries make resilience more and more difficult. To deal with it, you need to learn to use the appropriate psychological skills and tools.<\/p>\n

Trauma psychotherapy helps in understanding experiences that lay the foundation for disproportionate emotional and physical reactions; also, to improve self-esteem and change negative coping mechanisms, such as substance or food abuse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Neurology<\/h4>

Sometimes neurological and psychiatric conditions can coexist or be difficult to differentiate. A proper diagnosis and an individualized assessment are essential to address the issue effectively. In some cases, dysfunctions are typical of normal aging, while in others, they reflect underlying brain processes of a degenerative nature.<\/p>\n

At the center, we offer both neurological second opinions and ongoing follow-up for patients with cognitive decline, Parkinson's disease, tremors, or general neurological conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Conflicts and communication problems in the couple and the family<\/h4>

Couples and family psychotherapy helps accept disagreements and conflicts as a natural part of the relationship that helps us grow\u2014rather than as obstacles\u2014and practice effective communication patterns.<\/p>\n

Couples face immense challenges regarding relationship stability, yet we all recognize the importance and necessity of maintaining, nurturing, and growing alongside a stable, loving partner.<\/p>\n

In the event of a separation, Mediation offers the opportunity to prevent future conflicts, preserve children from conflict<\/b>, and avoid court litigation by agreeing on a parenting plan and financial matters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>

Well-being of women <\/h4>

Hormonal changes, psychosocial determinants and other conditioning factors can make women more vulnerable to suffering alterations in their mental health or sexuality.<\/p>\n

We accompany and treat women in the different stages of their lives, taking into account that mental disorders in women may present themselves differently and require specific treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Emotional discomfort and difficulties in coping with life problems<\/h4>

Psychology and Psychotherapy offer an opportunity to solve those vital problems that overcome us, as well as to develop skills and acquire tools to have a more positive outlook to face new life situations after psychotherapy.<\/p>\n

We can learn to identify feelings, use body signals, identify passive or aggressive behaviors, be more assertive, identify and communicate needs, and understand what personality styles contribute to anxiety or depression or other causes of discomfort.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Psychogeriatrics<\/h4>

Memory lapses, difficulty recalling words or names, loss of mental agility, attention deficits, changes in character, or behavioral disorders warrant conducting a study of memory and cognitive functions.
Different neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, can lead to these cognitive impairments. It is essential to accurately detect and diagnose these conditions, as some underlying causes may be reversible.<\/p>\n

An early diagnosis, utilizing neuropsychological and neuroimaging assessments of cognitive impairments, allows for appropriate intervention and management strategies to be implemented effectively to enhance the prognosis of the disorder, the patient's quality of life, and that of their family and caregivers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>

Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/h4>

Parkinson\u2019s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement, but can also involve cognitive, mood, and sleep-related changes. An accurate diagnosis and individualized follow-up are essential to slow its progression and maintain the best possible quality of life.<\/p>\n

At Institut Sarr\u00f3 we offer assessment and second opinions on Parkinson\u2019s disease with Dr. Eduard Tolosa<\/a>, neurologist and international reference in movement disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
