About multiple sclerosis

Psychological work and support during the MS treatment

The main goal of people working at our clinic is to help our patients improve their overall health while treating the symptoms of illness. To fulfil this goal, we provide the wide spectrum of treatments such as medical, physical and psychological.

Diagnostics is the first step. It includes a structured interview in order to identify patient’s needs, so we can create an individual psychological program for each person to achieve them. We are aware that people often deal with some psychological symptoms such as insomnia, stress, depression, anxiety or another kind of obstacles that are reducing the quality of their lives. Usually, we use neuropsychological, cognitive and personality questionnaires at the beginning and also later, so that we can evaluate the effect of the treatment.

We are trained to treat personal and emotional difficulties of different kind, such as:

• Panic disorder and agoraphobia - by creating system of support

• Specific and social phobia - by increasing motivation

• Generalized anxiety disorder- by improving self-confidence

• Stress - by learning how to relax

• Obsessive compulsive disorder - by creating self-trust

• Depression - by finding joy

• Couple and relationship distress - by communication skills improvement

• Insomnia - by sleep hygiene

• Learning how to deal with anger - by learning empathy

We create a plan for improving the quality of your life. It is important to emphasize that we are also focusing on well-being.
