At the Psychiatry Clinic at Almoosa Specialist Hospital, we offer

• Complete assessment and diagnosis of the health and psychological condition.
• Tests that rule out the organic causes of depression.
• A treatment program developed after discussion and long dialogue with the patient, consisting of a treatment plan that uses a drug approach and another that uses psychotherapy (through a program of cognitive-behavioral therapy or psychoanalysis).
• An integrated team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. In addition, a visit program to monitor the progress of treatment is usually every 6 months.
