Pay attention that the treatment course for each patient is individual. Psychiatrists conduct a complete physical and mental diagnosis to ensure the effective results of therapy. The treatment plan includes:

• Drugs in-take. IsraClinic doctors prescribe the new drugs that minimize the risk of side effects.
• Communicating with a psychologist that means cognitive-behavioral, holistic (restoring the unity of body and soul), supportive and family psychotherapy.
• Additional and alternative methods like hypnosis, hydrotherapy (swimming classes), art therapy (drawing, modeling, music), hippotherapy (horse riding).

Doctors prescribe an individual set of sessions and procedures for each patient. They use 5 main methods:

Cognitive behavioral therapy

A doctor corrects the negative thinking of a patient during the sessions. S/he uses techniques such as distraction, visualization, comparing a patient with other people, catharsis, designing new behavioral patterns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most effective method for panic attacks and phobias, anxiety, obsessive ideas, and depression treatment.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

This is a treatment with a special helmet that emits magnetic waves. They affect the inner layers of the brain and stimulate the production of endorphin and serotonin. These hormones help a patient to get rid of fear and anxiety, to improve his/her health and mood.

TMS is a painless procedure that is widely used in 22 leading psychiatric clinics in the world.

Helmet treatment is used for schizophrenia, bulimia, depressive disorder, panic attacks, spastic cerebral palsy, and autism.

Art Therapy

This technique is used to treat children in most of the cases. The art therapy includes painting, dancing, clay modeling, theatrical performances, storytelling.

Art therapy is effective for people with stress, depression, phobias, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Hippotherapy

These are classes with a horse, during which a patient develops riding and animal care skills. Hippotherapy helps to cope with isolation and fear.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a technique for patients teaching to manage panic attacks, stress, and phobias.

A doctor places sensors on the patient's body that read the signals of the nervous system and transmit them with waves to the monitor. A patient hears how the nervous system works through the headphones. A loud sound comes out when a patient is energized, and a quiet sound when a patient is relaxed. Biofeedback allows choosing individual methods of relaxation and suppression of panic attacks or negative emotions.
