Symptoms
Symptoms of mental disorders are so diverse that they cannot be described in one short article.

Besides that, the following symptoms may be the cause for consulting a specialist:

- indifference when nothing of what used to make the patient happy works anymore to improve his or her mood;
- sleep disorders, falling asleep problems
- poor memory and inability to concentrate
- frequent interpersonal conflicts
- sensation of persisting emotional and physical fatigue
- anxiety
- hypochondria (excessive somatic concerns, self-diagnostics without consulting a doctor)
Diagnostics
The psychotherapists of our Clinic use clinical diagnostic methods (observation, conversation) at the first consultation. They assess the psycho-emotional condition of the patient, his(her) life situation, history; if necessary they conduct conversations with relatives, estimate the mental status of the patient.
Deeper level diagnostics implies the use of pathopsychologic investigations, i.e. methods which help to determine the complex personality picture and select the individual therapeutic regimen.
Besides that, our psychotherapists have at their disposal genetic investigation methods, neurotests and also instrumental diagnostics: neurophysiologic test-system, tomography, electroencephalography.
