Psychiatric Support
Psychiatric support is intended for people who need a more specialized approach to their mental health challenges. With the help of a specialized psychiatrist, the issues they are facing are diagnosed, and the appropriate treatment plan is determined for each case.
At ARKESIS, our goal is to provide comprehensive mental health services that meet all the needs of the people who place their trust in us. In cases where psychiatric support is deemed necessary, our team includes a specialized psychiatrist who is responsible for diagnosis and developing a personalized treatment plan.
“Mental health is not simply the absence of disorder, but the ability to live with honesty and responsibility toward ourselves.”
— Karen Horney
The process begins with a thorough assessment that focuses on both the biological and personal aspects of the issues you’re facing. Our psychiatrist works closely with the patient, explaining each step of the process and tailoring the treatment to the patient’s needs and priorities.
Psychiatric support is often combined with psychotherapy to provide comprehensive care. While medication can address symptoms such as anxiety or depression, psychotherapy helps foster a deeper understanding of emotions and relationships. This collaborative approach ensures that both the biological and emotional aspects of mental health are taken into account, with the goal of helping each patient regain balance and quality of life.

In many cases, collaboration between a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist can be particularly helpful, offering more comprehensive care and support. Medication is not necessary for everyone, but it is considered on a case-by-case basis depending on each person’s needs and symptoms.
The psychiatric evaluation is conducted through discussion and the collection of a detailed history regarding the individual’s symptoms, difficulties, and living conditions. The goal is to understand the individual’s mental state and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
The process takes place in an atmosphere of confidentiality, respect, and safety, so that the individual can speak openly about their concerns.
Medication may be recommended when symptoms significantly interfere with daily life and impair a person’s functioning or emotional stability. The decision to prescribe medication is always made on an individual basis, following a psychiatric evaluation and discussion with the individual.
The goal of treatment is to support mental balance and improve quality of life, and it is often combined with psychotherapeutic support.
