Psychiatry in Dusil, Busan, Korea

This is Dusil Hospital, which was opened by the doctor who used to work at Baptist Hospital before it closed. I came in for counseling about insomnia and other issues, and first of all, the director and nurses are all very kind. That may be why there always seem to be so many patients waiting. The hospital interior is lovely, and I had the experience of feeling emotionally better just through the counseling. I think seeing the young patients made me feel heartbroken. People these days have so much stress, and simply holding it in isn’t always the answer. Just as you go to Internal Medicine when you catch a cold, I think it could help to visit and get counseling when you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed or sad, or when you can’t sleep. Feeling emotionally hurt isn’t something that can be instantly cured in a few days by taking medicine and getting an injection after an upset stomach, but it was a great help.
