Moodist Hospital

A modern psychiatric hospital on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, Moodist Hospital offers medically-focused treatment for a broad range of mental health and neurological concerns in a comfortable setting. Moodist Hospital offers treatment in Turkish, English, and Arabic, with translators available for other languages. International clients receive transportation from the airport. The grounds contain beautiful gardens, contributing to a serene environment for recovery.

Treatment and Diagnostic Methods

Psychiatrists and psychologists work together for both diagnostics and treatment, combining psychological tests, electroencephalography (EEG), sleep laboratory testing, and biochemistry testing to make diagnoses. Moodist Hospital combines medication management with a wide range of psychotherapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reconditioning (EMDR), psychodrama, psychodynamic therapy, family therapy, motivational interviewing, hypnotherapy, and more. When clients are not receptive to medication and psychotherapy alone, Moodist Hospital integrates treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and ketamine infusion treatment. While Moodist Hospital takes a primarily medical approach, they also offer holistic treatment options such as expressive arts therapy, juggling classes, and exercise classes.

Treatment Programs

Treatment programs vary based on diagnosis and level of care needed. Some conditions, such as opiate addiction, require inpatient treatment (and detox), while others, such as eating disorders, vary on a case-by-case basis. Programs are available for most mental health concerns, including mood disorders, thought disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, substance use disorders, including cocaine addiction, process addictions like gambling and internet use, and more. Most children participate in outpatient treatment, but Moodist Hospital admits children needing higher levels of care for inpatient hospitalization. Moodist Hospital offers emergency psychiatric services for individuals who are a potential risk to themselves or others or are experiencing delusions, hallucinations, and psychosis.
