About the clinic

Psychiatry and psychology deal with conditions that are every bit as real and every bit as treatable as physical illness — but where the threshold for asking for help is still higher. An experienced psychiatrist knows that the most common reason people feel bad for longer than they need to isn't that the treatment doesn't exist, but that the step of asking for it feels too large. Making that step smaller is a clinical task in itself.

We make sure the route to urgent help is clear and easy to find throughout the visit — that is a basic condition for safe psychiatric care. And because the conversation happens from home, many people raise things they have been putting off for a long time.

Your three most important questions for the visit

Safety — when you need urgent help

If you or someone close to you is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number.

Are you having thoughts of taking your own life, or do you know someone who is? Contact your local emergency number — that is exactly the kind of situation it exists for. You don't have to be certain, and you don't have to find the right words first.

Seek care immediately — go to an emergency department, or contact your local emergency number — if you have:

Thoughts of taking your own life that feel overwhelming or hard to resist
Severe confusion or a markedly altered level of consciousness
Severe anxiety with breathing problems or chest pain. Pressing chest pain that doesn't ease within 15 minutes, or that radiates to the arm, neck, jaw or back, should always be assessed as a cardiac symptom first — contact your local emergency number
A situation where you or a relative no longer feels safe

For non-urgent concerns, you can book a consultation with us. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number.

Digital care cannot handle acute psychiatric emergencies. If you are in any doubt at all — seek help straight away; that is always the right choice.

Frequently asked questions

When should I seek care?

When symptoms affect your daily life, your relationships or your ability to function.

Do I need to do any tests before the visit?

No, but previous assessments or records help us give you a better picture straight away.

Can you prescribe medication?

After a medical assessment, where appropriate.

How does follow-up work?

It is planned individually, based on your needs.

Can I get a second opinion?

Yes, we go through the previous assessment and give our own evaluation.

Can a relative take part in the visit?

Yes, if you want them to.

What if I feel very unwell between appointments?

Don't wait until your next booked appointment — see the safety box above, and contact your local emergency number if you are in immediate danger.

Do I need a diagnosis to get help?

No. You don't need to know what's wrong — working that out is our job.

Is what I tell you confidential?

Yes, the same confidentiality applies as in all other care.

What happens if I tell you about suicidal thoughts?

We take it seriously and help you to the right support. Telling us leads to help, not to something being taken away from you.

Fifteen common conditions

General patient information. It does not replace an individual assessment.

Depression

Typical age: All ages.
Background: One of the most common psychiatric conditions; it affects thoughts, feelings and the body.
Symptoms: Low mood, reduced enjoyment of life, changes in sleep and appetite, reduced energy.
What the doctor looks for: How long the symptoms have lasted, how severe they are, how much they affect daily life, and any thoughts of self-harm.
Investigations: A structured conversation, sometimes a rating questionnaire.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment.
Management: Talking therapy, medication where needed, always agreed with the patient.
Follow-up: Regular, and more frequent with a new diagnosis or increased risk.
Prognosis: Good, particularly with early and well-adapted support.
What you can do yourself: A regular daily rhythm and time outdoors every day have a documented effect — even when the motivation is entirely absent.
When should you book?: For low mood lasting more than two weeks that affects your daily life.

If the depression is linked to thoughts of taking your own life — see the safety box above. That applies at every point, wherever you are in treatment.

Generalised anxiety disorder

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Persistent, hard-to-control worry that isn't limited to one specific situation.
Symptoms: Excessive worry, physical symptoms such as palpitations, muscle tension, difficulty sleeping.
What the doctor looks for: The extent and duration of the worry.
Investigations: A structured conversation.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment.
Management: Talking therapy, medication where needed.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good, particularly with talking therapy.
What you can do yourself: Slow breathing out, longer out than in, dampens acute anxiety.
When should you book?: When the worry is hard to control and affects your sleep or your daily life.

ADHD

Typical age: Can be identified in childhood but is often confirmed or first recognised in adulthood.
Symptoms: Difficulty concentrating, impulsivity, sometimes restlessness.
What the doctor looks for: The symptom pattern since childhood and its effect on daily life and work or study.
Investigations: A structured assessment, often in several stages, sometimes together with a specialist service.
Diagnosis: Requires a structured assessment against established criteria.
Management: May include support measures and, in some cases, medication.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good functioning is possible with the right support and any treatment.
What you can do yourself: Note concrete examples from both work or school and home — assessment rests on functioning across more than one setting.
When should you book?: When the difficulties affect work, study or relationships.

Bipolar disorder

Typical age: Often begins in late adolescence or young adulthood.
Background: Alternating periods of depression and mania or hypomania.
Symptoms: Periods of low mood alternating with periods of elevated mood, increased energy or a reduced need for sleep.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern over time, previous episodes.
Investigations: A careful history, often together with a specialist.
Diagnosis: Requires specialist assessment.
Management: According to a specialist plan, often long-term medication.
Follow-up: Regular and long-term.
Prognosis: Good stability is possible with the right treatment and follow-up.
What you can do yourself: A regular daily rhythm is one of the strongest stabilising factors. Keep a mood diary.
When should you book?: For periods of unusually elevated mood or a reduced need for sleep.

Trauma-related symptoms (PTSD)

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Symptoms that can arise after a traumatic event.
Symptoms: Intrusive memories, avoidance, hyperarousal, sleep problems.
What the doctor looks for: The link to a traumatic event, and how long the symptoms have lasted.
Investigations: A structured conversation.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment.
Management: Trauma-focused talking therapy, sometimes medication as support.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good improvement is possible with the right treatment.
What you can do yourself: Don't avoid everything that reminds you — avoidance keeps the symptoms going. But do it with support, not alone.
When should you book?: For intrusive memories or nightmares more than a month after a traumatic event.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Typical age: Can begin at any age, often in adolescence or early adulthood.
Background: Recurring obsessive thoughts and/or compulsive behaviours.
Symptoms: Intrusive, unwanted thoughts and repeated behaviours aimed at reducing discomfort.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern and its effect on daily life.
Investigations: A structured conversation.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment.
Management: Talking therapy (often CBT-based), sometimes medication.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good improvement is possible with the right treatment.
What you can do yourself: Note which compulsive behaviours you carry out and how long they take each day.
When should you book?: When obsessive thoughts or behaviours take more than an hour a day.

Sleep disorders

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or maintaining good sleep quality, often linked to other psychiatric conditions.
Symptoms: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, daytime tiredness.
What the doctor looks for: The sleep pattern and any underlying causes.
Investigations: A sleep diary, a structured conversation.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment.
Management: Sleep hygiene advice, targeted treatment of the underlying cause.
Follow-up: As needed.
Prognosis: Good with the right measures.
What you can do yourself: The same wake-up time every day, even after a bad night — that is the single most effective measure.
When should you book?: For sleep problems lasting more than a month.

Burnout

Typical age: Adults of working age.
Background: Prolonged stress without sufficient recovery.
Symptoms: Pronounced tiredness, difficulty concentrating, physical symptoms, emotional exhaustion.
What the doctor looks for: The history of strain and the extent of the symptoms.
Investigations: A structured conversation, sometimes a rating questionnaire.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment.
Management: Structured recovery, talking support, a gradual return to activity.
Follow-up: Regular, often over a long period.
Prognosis: Good, but recovery often takes months.
What you can do yourself: Recovery in a moderate dose every day is more effective than complete rest in bursts.
When should you book?: For pronounced tiredness and difficulty concentrating after prolonged stress.

Panic disorder

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Recurring, unexpected panic attacks.
Symptoms: Sudden intense fear with physical symptoms such as palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern of the attacks and any avoidance behaviour.
Investigations: A structured conversation.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment, after ruling out a physical cause where needed.
Management: Talking therapy, sometimes medication.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good improvement is possible with the right treatment.
What you can do yourself: Panic attacks are harmless despite how they feel — that knowledge alone often reduces both how often they come and how intense they are.
When should you book?: For recurring attacks, or if you have started avoiding places.

Social anxiety disorder

Typical age: Often begins in adolescence.
Background: Pronounced fear of social situations where you might be scrutinised or judged.
Symptoms: Strong fear in social situations, avoidance behaviour.
What the doctor looks for: The extent of the avoidance and its effect on daily life.
Investigations: A structured conversation.
Diagnosis: Clinical assessment.
Management: Talking therapy (often CBT-based).
Follow-up: As needed.
Prognosis: Good improvement is possible with the right treatment.
What you can do yourself: Gradual exposure in small steps works — but avoidance makes it worse.
When should you book?: When the fear limits work, study or social relationships.

Crisis reaction after a difficult event

Typical age: All ages.
Background: After a death, an accident, a divorce or a serious diagnosis, strong reactions are normal, not pathological — grief, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and a sense of unreality all belong to a healthy reaction to something very hard. What decides whether professional support is needed isn't how strong the reaction is, but whether it fails to ease at all with time, or whether functioning stays badly affected.
Common symptoms: Grief, sleep problems, difficulty concentrating, a sense of unreality, shifting emotions.
What the doctor looks for: How much time has passed, whether functioning is gradually returning, and whether there are signs of depression or suicidal thoughts.
Investigations: A structured conversation.
Diagnosis: By separating a normal crisis reaction from a development towards depression or PTSD.
Management: Often talking support rather than medication; treatment if it develops towards depression.
Follow-up: After a few weeks.
Risk factors to know: Previous depression, lack of social support, several strains at once, previous trauma.
Common misconception: That you should “be strong” and manage on your own. Seeking support early reduces the risk of the crisis turning into something longer-lasting.
What you can do yourself: Keep the basic routines — sleep, food, daylight — even when everything else feels chaotic.
When should you book?: When the reaction doesn't ease after a few weeks, or when you can't manage daily life.
Prognosis: Good — most people recover with time and support.

If you have thoughts of taking your own life — see the safety box above. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number.

Anxiety with physical symptoms

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Anxiety often produces strong physical symptoms — palpitations, chest pain, breathlessness, dizziness, numbness — which lead many people to seek emergency care for a suspected heart problem. That is an entirely understandable reaction, and physical causes must always be ruled out first. But once they have been, understanding the mechanism is often a large part of the treatment.
Common symptoms: Palpitations, pressure in the chest, breathlessness, tingling in the hands, a sense of unreality.
What the doctor looks for: Whether physical causes have been ruled out, and whether the symptoms come in waves with a clear peak.
Investigations: ECG and blood tests if not already done; then psychiatric assessment.
Diagnosis: A physical cause is ruled out first — always.
Management: Psychoeducation, CBT, sometimes medication.
Follow-up: After treatment has started.
Risk factors to know: Previous panic attacks, high stress levels, caffeine, lack of sleep, heart disease in the family.
Common misconception: That physical anxiety symptoms mean you're imagining things. The symptoms are physiologically real — it is the cause, not the experience, that differs.
What you can do yourself: Slow breathing out often breaks an acute episode. Knowing the symptoms are harmless reduces them noticeably.
When should you book?: When physical symptoms keep returning and a cardiac cause has been ruled out.
Prognosis: Very good — one of the most treatable conditions in psychiatry.

Mental health in young people

Typical age: 13–25 years.
Background: Most psychiatric conditions begin before the age of 25, which makes early detection particularly valuable. At the same time, it is a period when a great deal changes naturally — and telling normal adolescent development apart from emerging mental ill health is hard, both for the young person and for parents.
Common symptoms: Low mood, anxiety, sleep problems, withdrawal, falling school performance, changed eating patterns.
What the doctor looks for: Whether the change is lasting and affects functioning in more than one setting.
Investigations: A structured conversation, often with the young person themselves at the centre.
Diagnosis: By assessing duration and effect on functioning rather than individual behaviours.
Management: Talking therapy first; medication where there is a clear indication.
Follow-up: Regular.
Risk factors to know: Heredity, bullying, previous trauma, high school stress, lack of sleep, heavy screen use late at night.
Common misconception: That it's “just being a teenager”. Often it is — but when the change has lasted for months and affects several parts of life, it's worth an assessment.
What you can do yourself: As a young person — talk to an adult you trust. If that feels impossible, tell any adult at school or a doctor; you don't have to have the words ready first. As a parent — ask openly and listen without rushing to solve it.
When should you book?: For a change that has lasted more than a few weeks and affects school, sleep or relationships.
Prognosis: Very good — early measures in adolescence have a documented large effect.

If you have thoughts of harming yourself — contact healthcare services immediately, or your local emergency number if you are in danger right now. See the safety box above.

When someone close to you is unwell

Typical age: Not applicable — this is for relatives.
Background: Being close to someone with mental ill health is demanding, and relatives themselves have a raised risk of exhaustion and depression. At the same time, a relative's support is one of the strongest protective factors for the person who is ill — which means relatives need support of their own, and not only for their own sake.
Symptoms in the carer: Worry, sleep problems, guilt, exhaustion, isolation.
What the doctor looks for: How the relative themselves is doing, and what concrete help is needed.
Investigations: A conversation.
Diagnosis: With the relative as a patient in their own right.
Management: Support, information, and referral to carer organisations where needed.
Follow-up: As needed.
Common misconception: That as a relative you should manage everything yourself, and that getting help for yourself would be selfish. Your being able to cope is a precondition for you being able to support anyone.
What you can do yourself: Keep your own routines and relationships — isolation affects relatives almost as often as it affects the person who is ill.
When should you book?: When worry about someone else affects your own sleep, daily life or health.
Prognosis: Good — carer support has a documented effect both for the relative and for the person who is ill.

If you are worried that someone close to you may take their own life — see the safety box above. If there is immediate danger, contact your local emergency number.

Medication in mental health care

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Many people have questions about psychiatric medication that they never got round to asking — about dependence, side effects, personality change, or how long they should take it. The uncertainty often leads to treatment being stopped early, which is one of the most common reasons for relapse in depression.
Common symptoms: At the start of treatment, side effects can arrive before the effect does — which makes many people stop just before the medication has begun to work.
What the doctor looks for: What the concerns are, how long treatment has run, and previous experiences.
Investigations: Review of the treatment and how symptoms have developed.
Diagnosis: By weighing effect against side effects over time.
Management: Dose adjustment, a switch, or a planned taper.
Follow-up: More frequent at the start of treatment.
Risk factors to know: Early side effects without information, stopping too early, combining with alcohol.
Common misconception: That antidepressants are addictive in the way sedatives are. They are not — but they should still be tapered down, not stopped abruptly.
What you can do yourself: Never stop abruptly. Raise side effects with your doctor instead — there is almost always an alternative.
When should you book?: For questions about your treatment, for side effects, or ahead of a planned withdrawal.
Prognosis: Good — most people find a treatment that works, though it may take some adjustments along the way.
