Psychosomatic


Psychosomatic medicine is a scientific and medical discipline that deals with the aspects of the mutual effects of psyche and body.
It is not easy to separate the area of ​​the psyche from the body, because the brain is an organ in which all psychological processes take place, and it is even more difficult to distinguish the psyche from the soul. In simple terms we can say that psychosomatics focuses on feelings. If the emotions are significantly disturbed, it will be manifested through physical symptoms. Also, a physical illness often causes emotional imbalance. The focus of the psychosomatic treatment is on the psychosomatic/ psychotherapeutic conversation, supplemented by nutritional and workout recommendations and also, if necessary, by medication.
Psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine are very related areas, although there are diseases such as dementia, psychosis and addiction that do not fall into the domain of psychosomatics and require psychiatric treatment.

Over the past few years, the number of mental illnesses has been growing intensively. Psychosomatic medicine is occupying an increasingly important place in the health system, bridging the gap between stressful, modern way of life and human health.

Stress medicine


Stress is not simply an expression that is a part of our daily lives. There is no precise way to define or measure stress, since all of us experience it differently.
Our stress response is a part of our brain‘s defense mechanism which activates in life-threatening situations. This ability has probably saved the lives of many of our ancestors. When faced with danger, our systems react rapidly, our heart rate increases and we start breathing faster in order to supply the muscles with oxygen, and therefore energy in the shortest amount of time possible, preparing us for a fight or flight response. The problem is that our brain sometimes does not distinguish the life-threatening situation from a business meeting , initiating a stress response even though there is no real life threat. As a result, the stress hormone level increases in our body, especially in our muscles. No wonder we feel tense.
Chronic stress can cause serious illnesses, with professional help, you will be able to identify individual risks and learn the methods of coping with stress based on many years of research of the effect a modern lifestyle has on our health.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation


Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a new, non-invasive, neuromodulating procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of psychosomatic disorders.
During an TMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed near the forehead. The electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of the brain involved in mood, pain and anxiety control.
TMS therapy indications:

  • Mayor depressive disorder
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Neuropathic pain
  • Migraine headaches
Usually, 78% of the people respond well to TMS treatment after 2-3 weeks and there are almost no adverse effects. This success rate has been achieved combining neuromodulation techniques with psychotherapy. The FDA in the U.S.A. considers TMS as a safe therapy, it is a guideline-recommended therapy in Germany.
