Mental disorders can vary in severity, duration, and symptoms. However, many of the signs and manifestations of disorders are similar, making them difficult to recognise and requiring specialist help to make a correct diagnosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-for-mental-illness\/#how_to_recognise_a_mental_disorder_symptoms_and_signs\" title=\"How to recognise a mental disorder: symptoms and signs\">How to recognise a mental disorder: symptoms and signs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-for-mental-illness\/#mental_disorder_treatment_price_cost\" title=\"Mental Disorder Treatment Price (Cost)\">Mental Disorder Treatment Price (Cost)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-for-mental-illness\/#treatment_of_mental_disorders_effective_techniques_and_comprehensive_approach\" title=\"Treatment of mental disorders: effective techniques and comprehensive approach\">Treatment of mental disorders: effective techniques and comprehensive approach<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-for-mental-illness\/#you_may_also_be_interested_in\" title=\"You may also be interested in:\">You may also be interested in:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-for-mental-illness\/#you_may_also_need\" title=\"You may also need:\">You may also need:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_recognise_a_mental_disorder_symptoms_and_signs\"><\/span>How to recognise a mental disorder: symptoms and signs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symptomatology of mental disorders may include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mood changes &#8211; characterised by the appearance of depression, bipolar disorder, affective disorders.

In modern medical practice, the following approaches are the most widespread:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is one of the most common treatments for mental health disorders. Different types of treatment such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychoanalysis, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and many others help patients to make sense of their problems, learn to manage their emotions and develop healthy strategies to manage situations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pharmacotherapy &#8211; Some mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders may require medication. A psychiatrist will prescribe suitable medication, taking which will help to relieve symptoms of the illness and stabilise your mental state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rehabilitation and Recovery &#8211; some people with severe mental health problems may require rehabilitation and recovery. These programmes include self-management, social adaptation and life skills training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family therapy &#8211; will be useful for patients whose mental health problems affect family relationships. It helps family members to resolve conflicts, improve communication and support the patient in the recovery process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-help and support &#8211; many patients find support and help in support groups. Participation in such groups allows them to share experiences, advice and feelings with others facing similar problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lifestyle changes &#8211; a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet and regular sleep will have a positive impact on mind and body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) &#8211; used in severe cases of depression and other mental disorders that do not respond to other treatments. This method involves briefly stimulating the brain with an electrical impulse, which can improve symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Art therapy &#8211; creativity can help patients express their feelings and emotions through art and music, which promotes psychological recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients should work with qualified professionals such as psychotherapists, psychiatrists and psychologists to choose the best treatment methods to meet their needs. The most effective results will be achieved by using several complementary methods at the same time. It is the integrated therapy that helps to cope with the problem as accurately and quickly as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .section-title {\n    font-size: 24px;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    margin-bottom: 15px;\n    color: #222;\n  }\n  .tag-container {\n    display: flex;\n    flex-wrap: wrap;\n    gap: 10px;\n    margin-bottom: 30px;\n  }\n  .tag {\n    background-color: #f0f0f0;\n    border-radius: 6px;\n    padding: 8px 15px;\n    font-size: 14px;\n    font-weight: 500;\n  }\n  .tag a {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #0077cc;\n    transition: color 0.3s ease;\n  }\n  .tag a:hover {\n    color: #005fa3;\n  }\n  .section {\n    margin-top: 10px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you_may_also_be_interested_in\"><\/span>You may also be interested in:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"tag-container\">\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/stitching-from-alcoholism\/\">alcoholism stitching<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/drug-treatment-clinic\/\">narcological clinic<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/drug-treatment-of-alcoholism\/\">medication treatment of alcoholism<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/treatment-of-female-alcoholism\/\">treatment of female alcoholism<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/treatment-of-beer-alcoholism\/\">treatment of beer alcoholism<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you_may_also_need\"><\/span>You may also need:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"section\">\n  <div class=\"tag-container\">\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/treatment-of-alcoholism-at-home\/\">treatment of alcoholism at home<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/treatment-of-alcoholism-in-a-hospital\/\">treatment of alcoholism in hospital<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/treatment-of-alcoholism-without-the-patients-knowledge\/\">treatment of alcoholism without patient\u2019s knowledge<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/treatment-of-alcoholism-without-desire\/\">treatment of alcoholism without desire<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/dropper-from-alcohol\/\">IV drip for alcohol detox<\/a><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2478,"parent":2076,"menu_order":66,"template":"","class_list":["post-1903","service","type-service","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1903\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/2076"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
