Frequently asked questions and answers about visits and the mental health support process
When should you see a mental health specialist?
If you have been experiencing low mood, excessive stress, relationship difficulties or sleep problems for a long time, it is a sign that it is worth consulting a specialist. Help is not just for “serious cases”; it often works best when you act early.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
A psychologist deals with psychological diagnosis and provides support and consultation in the area of emotional and cognitive functioning. A psychiatrist, as a physician, makes a medical diagnosis, differentiates mental disorders and, if indicated, implements pharmacological treatment. In clinical practice, these specialists often work together to provide comprehensive and consistent patient care.
Do I need a referral for an appointment?
No, visits to our center do not require a referral. You can arrange a consultation directly – we will help you choose the right specialist.
What does the first visit look like?
The first consultation is diagnostic in nature and serves as an initial assessment of the patient’s functioning. The specialist collects information, analyzes reported difficulties, and identifies areas requiring support. On this basis, preliminary recommendations are made regarding further treatment, which may include psychotherapy and/or in-depth diagnostics.
Is psychotherapy always a long-term process?
Not necessarily. The duration of psychotherapy depends on the nature of the reported difficulties, therapeutic goals and the individual needs of the patient. In some cases, short-term consultations are sufficient, while in others, longer, in-depth psychotherapeutic work aimed at lasting change is indicated.
Can I use an online visit?
Yes, we also offer online consultations. This is a convenient form of support, especially if you cannot attend in person or prefer remote contact.
