Quando a saúde mental se torna complexa, a avaliação certa faz a diferença

A The Clinic of Change é uma clínica de saúde mental dedicada a casos que exigem uma abordagem cuidada, integrada e baseada em evidência científica.

Ajudamos pessoas que sentem que algo não está bem mesmo quando já tentaram outras soluções.

Nem sempre é fácil explicar o que se está a sentir

Muitas pessoas vivem esta realidade em silêncio, sem saber se é “normal”, se vai passar ou se precisam de ajuda e na The Clinic of Change, o primeiro passo é compreender o que está realmente a acontecer.

  • Cansaço que não passa
  • Ansiedade constante
  • Dificuldade em dormir
  • Perda de motivação, foco ou prazer
  • Sensação de estar em esforço permanente

O que fazemos

Avaliação clínica especializada em saúde mental

Não acreditamos em soluções rápidas nem em respostas iguais para todos.
A nossa abordagem começa sempre por uma avaliação clínica cuidada, que permite perceber:

  • O que está na origem do sofrimento
  • Porque é que algumas abordagens anteriores podem não ter resultado
  • Qual o acompanhamento mais adequado para cada pessoa

Só depois é definido um plano de acompanhamento ajustado, seguro e responsável.

Addiction

Addiction is the use and abuse of psychoactive substances, such as alcohol and drugs or medication, in a way that is harmful or dangerous to health and social life.

The characteristics of additions are:
- Using substances in larger quantities or for a longer period of time than initially intended;
- Spending a substantial amount of time trying to access, use or recover from the effects of the substance;
- Have an intense desire to consume the substance;
- Having a desire to stop or reduce the use of the substance without being able to do so;
- Not fulfilling important obligations relating to their role at work, school or home;
- Continuing to use the substance even though it causes (or worsens) social or interpersonal problems;
- Giving up or reducing important social, occupational or recreational activities because of substance use.

Anxiety

Anxiety

It is a disturbing and uncomfortable emotional state of nervousness and excessive worry.
Anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive fears and worries about various activities or events in a person's life, which last for more than six months.

The following are characteristics of anxiety disorders
- Difficulty controlling worries;
- Agitation and feelings of nervousness and tension;
- Easy tiredness;
- Difficulty concentrating;
- Irritability;
- Muscle tension;
- Sleep disorders.

We are dealing with an anxiety disorder that requires treatment if the following apply: if the anxiety is very disturbing, if the anxiety interferes with the person's personal and social functioning and if the anxiety does not cease spontaneously after a few days.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are problems with eating and food intake, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating.

- Anorexia nervosa is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with losing weight, an exaggerated fear of gaining weight, a distorted body image, and the restriction of food intake to the point of causing a weight that is too low, damaging one's state of health.

- Binge eating is characterized by repeated episodes in which people consume excessive amounts of food and feel a loss of control.

- Bulimia is characterized by repeated episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviours such as purging (e.g. self-induced vomiting, abuse of laxatives or diuretics), fasting or excessive exercise.

Stress Pós-Traumático (PTSD)

Post-traumatic stress

It is an emotional disorder that can appear after a person has experienced one or more strongly traumatic, frightening or terrifying events.

The characteristics of PTSD are:
- Recurrent and distressing dreams and memories about the traumatic event;
- Flashbacks in which people repeatedly relive the trauma;
- Inability to remember important aspects of the traumatic event;
- Distorted thinking about the causes and/or consequences of the trauma;
- Decreased positive emotions and increased negative emotions (fear, guilt, sadness, shame, confusion);
- Lack of interest, social withdrawal, subjective feeling of numbness and low expectations for the future;
- Hyperexcitation: nervousness, exaggerated startle responses, difficulty relaxing, difficulty concentrating, disturbed sleep (sometimes with frequent nightmares), aggressive or reckless behavior;
- Dissociative symptoms: feeling separated from one's body as if in a dream and feeling that the world is unreal.

Burnout

Burnout

Burnout is included in the WHO (World Health Organization) International Classification of Diseases as an occupational phenomenon, the result of chronic stress in the workplace. It is characterized by three dimensions:

-Feelings of exhaustion;
-Increased emotional distance and feelings of negativity or cynicism;
-Reduced professional effectiveness.

According to the National Health Service, burnout is a "state of physical and mental exhaustion caused by the exercise of a professional activity". It is characterized by three stages of evolution:
1) Emotional exhaustion: Perceived lack of energy for professional and personal activities. Work is seen as painful;
2) Depersonalization and/or dehumanization of contact: contact with others becomes impersonal and devoid of affection;
3) Low professional fulfillment: demotivation with work, which leads to a feeling of loss of meaning in tasks and lack of interest in work.

The main psychological symptoms of burnout are: Impatience and irritability, Difficulties concentrating and memorizing, General lack of energy, Altered appetite, Decreased libido, Sleep disturbances, Physical fatigue and body aches.

On the biological front, cortisol (stress hormone) levels increase, as do blood pressure and blood glucose (sugar levels). The hormonal, neuroendocrine and immune systems become dysregulated, the body's defenses are weakened and the likelihood of diseases: inflammations and infections, increases. Most of the time, these symptoms appear mild, but tend to worsen over time.
