Sometimes medication is needed in case of psychological problems. In general we combine medication with psychological interventions. Medication can be helpful in depression, anxiety, severe moodswings, insomnia and in problems with alcohol or drugs.

In depression or anxiety disorders antidepressants are effective drugs. Sometimes tranquilizers (benzodiazepines) are prescribed for a short period to alleviate severy anxiety, agitation or insomnia.

In problems with alcohol or drugs medication can be prescribed to help you to stop drinking or taking drugs, and after stopping to help you to prevent using alcohol or drugs again.

In case of severe moodswings (as for example in bipolar disorder) medication to stabilize mood is prescribed.

Before prescribing medication our psychiatrist performs a thorough evaluation of the symptoms that you are experiencing, and the factors that are causing these symptoms. If necessary, our psychiatrist can combine the medication with psychotherapeutic interventions.
