Timely intervention in psychiatric problems is important
Stating that psychiatric diseases are brain-borne diseases, experts warn that neglecting the problems may lead to bigger problems in the future. Indicating that psychiatric diseases cause loss of function, problems in society, unhappiness, division of families, and deterioration of academic and professional careers when untreated, experts pointed out the importance of timely intervention to problems.
Üsküdar University NP Feneryolu Medical Center Psychiatrist Asst. Assoc. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver explained the causes of brain-related disorders and why patients need psychiatrists.
Psychiatry finds solutions to problems in the brain
Reminding that psychiatrists are specialists in psychiatry after graduating from medical school, Assist. Assoc. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver said, “Psychiatric diseases are brain diseases. Of course, we must see the brain and body as a whole. While the functions of the brain direct our behaviors, emotions and thoughts, understand them and analyze them, it fulfills them as a whole with the body. When there is a problem with these functions, there can be many reasons, genetic, biological, psychological, social, and later traumatic causes. When this function is interrupted, psychiatric symptoms occur. Therefore, the psychiatrist, who is a scientist, believes that the subjective pain experienced by the person; "He is the person who distinguishes the reasons for insomnia, loss of appetite, muscle aches, not enjoying life, unwillingness towards life, and feeling anger towards people."
Many problems are caused by the brain
Stating that when there are problems in the functions of our brain as an organ, he shows himself as forgetfulness, distraction, difficulty in making decisions, sadness for no reason, happiness for no reason, sleep disorder, appetite disorder, and having problems in bilateral relations Assoc. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver pointed out the importance of recognizing these problems.
Psychiatric illnesses are difficult to recognize on their own.
Stating that psychiatric illnesses are often difficult to recognize on their own, Assist. Assoc. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver said the following:
“Since our brain is also the organ that determines whether we are sick or not, whether we have a problem or not, it is not very easy to recognize psychiatric diseases on our own. A person can alienate himself from his organ and say there is a problem in my lung, but when he feels a little sad or his sleep is disturbed, he cannot say there is a problem in my brain, I wonder if I am sorry for no reason. And some people start to blame themselves for frequent cases of anxiety disorders or depression, for example. Here I am misunderstanding something, I am doing something wrong or I am flawed, I am lazy, I am incompetent, I am ungrateful. In other words, they say that the person himself has a flaw and that is why he suffers from these problems or that he has some problems because he is not loved. "
Psychiatric diseases are diseases of brain cells
Stating that psychiatrists diagnose and treat psychiatric diseases originating from the brain, Assist. Assoc. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver said, “Mostly psychiatric diseases are diseases of the brain cells. There is an imbalance in some chemicals, there is a slowdown or acceleration in connections between some cells, some brain regions work more slowly, some work more slowly, and when that happens, we experience psychiatric symptoms. “We try to understand this problem in psychiatric practice first”.
Patient privacy is the honor of the psychiatrist
Stating that the patients' identities and private information cannot be shared in any scientific, literary or other environment without their consent, Asst. Assoc. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver pointed out the importance of patient privacy and said, “This is a private place. Just like a pulmonologist gets a person removed from his blouse and needs to examine that person naked, we ask people to tell them about their most intimate subjects, and we ask them to peel it off to their souls in a way. As such, this is something you should take great care of. "It is the honor of a psychiatrist to hide this special information of the people who open us the most painful and most injured, most vulnerable side."
Psychiatric illnesses cause problems in society
Emphasizing that psychiatric diseases are quite common in the society, Asst. Assoc. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver pointed out the importance of timely intervention to problems and said: “As the number of psychiatrists increases, we can recognize these diseases more and we see that when psychiatric diseases are not recognized and treated, they cause loss of function, problems in society, unhappiness, family division, causes their professional careers to deteriorate. Just as you go to another medical doctor when your back hurts or headaches, it is important for all your health and the health of your loved ones that you go to a psychiatrist who is also a medical doctor with the same care.
