About the clinic
Treatment for depression at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul helps patients manage symptoms through psychiatric care and evidence-based psychotherapy. Diagnostic options include a consultation and treatment plan for around $300, while a brain MRI with contrast typically runs $1,000. The facility holds JCI accreditation and features a dedicated psychiatry department to support mental health needs.
Diagnostic process for depression
The hospital uses precise imaging and clinical evaluations to understand each patient's condition. Specialists use these tools to rule out other medical issues and build a targeted recovery strategy. Patients may undergo the following tests:
- Consultation with creation of treatment plan. A psychiatrist evaluates symptoms and designs a personalized care path.
- Brain MRI with contrast. High-resolution imaging using a 3 Tesla MRI helps assess brain structure.
Psychotherapy and medication options
The psychiatry and clinical psychology units provide several talk therapy methods. These sessions help patients identify negative thought patterns and build better coping skills. Available methods include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). A structured approach that targets negative beliefs to change behavior.
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Focuses on mindfulness and increasing psychological flexibility.
- EMDR therapy. Uses eye movements to process trauma that may contribute to depressive symptoms.
- Antidepressant medication therapy. Medical management to balance brain chemistry and reduce symptoms.
Advanced psychiatric procedures
For cases where standard therapies are not enough, the clinic provides interventional options. Uzm. Dr. Ulviye Baghirova NAS leads psychiatric care, focusing on both outpatient therapy and specialized procedures. One such option is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This procedure uses controlled electrical stimulation while the patient is under anesthesia. It is an effective choice for severe depression that does not respond to medication.
