Psychiatry in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, Korea

I visit the hospital for treatment every month. At first, I visited the hospital for a consultation with some concerns, but I came to realize that just as you take cold medicine when you catch a cold, mental health conditions can also be treated with medication. Last month, I was busy and ended up visiting the hospital about two weeks late. During the two weeks I couldn’t take my medication, I experienced some discomfort in my daily life and found it quite difficult to sleep comfortably. I’m taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication, and I was surprised to learn that, unlike in the past, these are now considered common medications that many people around me take as well. I plan to continue visiting the hospital regularly and keep working toward living a normal life. The nurses and Dr. Kim Eun-su always welcome me kindly whenever I visit, so I feel comfortable and have had a very positive experience~^^

Um... I would be perfectly fine, and then suddenly I couldn’t breathe and cold sweat would pour down my body. I would often get this fear that something terrible was about to happen. Whenever I heard a high-pitched ringing sound and suddenly felt, “Ah~ I think it’s comingㅠㅠ,” it would start without fail. At first, I thought I had severe indigestion. When I felt like I was suddenly being sucked into an abyss, there was nothing I could do. Ah... there had been little hints before it got worse, but I was busy and just ignored them. By the time I dealt with it, it had become a much bigger problem two or three years later. It’s been about four years now? I’ve been going in with peace of mind. The doctor briefly checks my current condition, gives me a prescription, and I go home. My appointment was scheduled much later than I expected. I’m supposed to visit today. I wish I had started going 20 years ago... During the first three months, it felt a little strange, like something was correcting certain coordinates. I guess the gap in sensitivity between the left and right sides of my brain was greater than other people’s. Anyway, I feel lighter, and my daily life has improved a lot. Thank you, doctor and all the nurses.

I’ve been coming here for a long time. I first visited because some women in my neighborhood recommended it, and there were so many people there. At the time, I wasn’t very familiar with going to a psychiatric clinic, so I hesitated a lot about whether to wait or leave. But because of their recommendation—and because I was going through a really, really difficult time emotionally—I felt a little embarrassed, but I think I waited for over 30 minutes. An older nurse was so friendly and guided me, talked to me, and made me feel comfortable with her experienced skills, which I really appreciated. As you’d expect from such a well-known clinic, the doctor isn’t the type to talk a lot, but adjusted my medication little by little to suit my symptoms and gradually reduced the side effects, so I think I was able to adjust quite well. Now I visit comfortably. Thank you, Doctor.
