Areas of Practice

Did You Know?

Anxiety Disorders

The most common condition in psychiatry, with an exceptionally high resolution rate when diagnosed and treated early and correctly.

Mood Disorders

Mood disorders carry the highest mortality rate in psychiatry, with substantial impact on well-being, quality of life and productivity. Early and correct treatment can completely change the course of the illness.

Psychotic Disorders

Affecting approximately 1% of the population, the per-patient cost can reach twice that of other chronic conditions such as diabetes. When diagnosed early, treatment can prevent the profound impact on daily functioning and allow the individual to enjoy excellent quality of life.

Combined Therapy

Pharmacological treatment of mental disorders can produce significant improvement in the symptoms that lead patients to seek help. Combining psychotherapy with medication allows the patient to revisit behavioral patterns acquired throughout life that contributed to their current clinical presentation.

Mental Health in the Medical Profession

The responsibility for patient lives, the demanding workload from the earliest stages of training, and both social and personal expectations push physicians to the limits of their mental health. Specialized professional care attentive to the particularities of this population is essential.
