Psychiatry in Hongdae, Seoul, Korea

I've been feeling really anxious and sought treatment. From the start, they provided great counseling, and they truly listen to your concerns. Although it's a clinic for adolescents, they do see adults too. Appointments are a must. From my experience, it seems beneficial to visit for counseling and treatment when issues arise with your kids. I've been going for about three months now, and I have to say that mental health treatment isn't easy, but they handle it well here. The consultation fees were reasonable too. Initially, I thought it would be expensive, but depending on situations like anxiety and depression, there are quite a few services covered by insurance. Overall, taking medication has really helped, and they’ve been supportive in managing it without making me dependent on it. I’m not on medication anymore, and I've received a lot of help here.

This hospital is near Gongdeok Station. It can be a bit confusing when taking the subway to Hol Station, so it's easier to find it if you check the building name first. The director is a calm and composed man who listens well. The interior of the hospital is a bit cramped, but I actually felt more secure than if it were too spacious. Sitting in a very large room can feel somewhat awkward. One of the advantages here is that the waiting time is shorter compared to other hospitals. You can also park in the building's basement, and there are elevators on both sides, which makes it convenient to get to the hospital no matter where you go in the building. However, it might feel a bit claustrophobic for some people since it is quite small. There's a water dispenser, but coffee or tea isn't provided separately.

I take my father for his regular dementia check-ups once a year. Every time we go, I worry about him and he gets anxious, but I'm grateful that the doctor thoroughly conducts his tests. This time, the doctor mentioned that more symptom management is needed than before, so two additional pills were prescribed. They explained the reasons in detail and kindly went over how to take them, which really helped. I'm realizing how important it is to have consistent care and regular check-ups as my father gets older. As a caregiver, I had a lot of questions, but the staff answered them all without any signs of annoyance. I'm planning to take him every six months from now on. We've been to many hospitals, but this is one of the places that truly cares for its patients.
