ForumPsychiatryczne.pl is a place where mental disorders are discussed - their causes, symptoms, prevalence and treatment. Information on one's mental illness can be found here for the patient, but also for his/her family members, carers.

ForumPsychiatry.pl answers questions about what a psychiatrist, psychologist, psychotherapist, community therapist or addiction therapist does. Mental illnesses, methods of treatment (pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy), places (counselling centre, psychiatric hospital) and methods of prevention and prevention of relapse of a mental disorder (mental hygiene) such as psychoeducation, maintenance therapy, relaxation are discussed.

Other methods of therapy are also applicable in psychiatry. These involve the use of specialised equipment: light therapy (= phototherapy, light treatment) and electroshock (EW). Art therapy and music therapy conducted within the psychiatric unit are also important.

The portal discusses the most common mental problems and illnesses, such as:

schizophrenia,
delusional disorders (paranoia),
schizoaffective disorders,
bipolar affective disorders,
depression,
anxiety disorders (neuroses), e.g. obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety or panic attacks, social phobia, generalised anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (= obsessive comp ulsive disorder, OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder, severe stress reaction,
addiction to alcohol, tranquilisers, drugs (cannabis, amphetamines) or legal highs,
personality disorders (psychopathy, antisocial, dependent, anxious, anankastic, borderline personality),
mental retardation,
sleep disorders.

Older people increasingly suffer from:

alzheimer's disease,
vascular dementia,
dementias in Pick's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease).

Mental illness can manifest itself as sleep disturbances(insomnia, shortened sleep, early awakening), mood swings during the day, and sometimes suicidal thoughts and the desire to commit suicide.

What it is:

an antidepressant drug (antidepressant),
an antipsychotic drug (neuroleptic, antipsychotic),
a sedative (anxiolytic) or a sleeping drug?

Other groups of drugs are also discussed, such as those that improve cognitive functions such as concentration, attention, memory, i.e. progonitive drugs and those used in more serious diseases like Alzheimer's disease.
We describe important issues such as the use of medicines during pregnancy and drug interactions.

Mental disorders are not only about pharmacotherapy, but also about psychotherapy. The father of psychotherapy is Sigmund Freud. There are now several main theoretical approaches, including analytical psychotherapy (psychoanalysis), psychodynamic psychotherapy, behavioural-cognitive psychotherapy (CBT), systemic psychotherapy, family and couples therapy.

The backbone of the psychiatric care system is the Mental Health Centre, which includes:

a mental health clinic,
community treatment team,
a day psychiatric unit.

Inpatient care is provided by a psychiatric ward in a general hospital and a ward within a psychiatric hospital. Such counselling and hospitalisation (= treatment in hospital) is financed by the National Health Fund (NHF). A psychiatric private medical practice is a place where a specialist psychiatrist can help a person in need of rapid assistance.
