Psychiatry in Brainspot

The Brainspot clinic offers certified internationally standardized tests for the diagnosis of mental disorders:

• CASD (Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder) - a screening test for the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders in children, regardless of their level of mental development or the severity of the symptoms. It helps to distinguish ASD from other developmental disorders.
• DIVA-5 stands for Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults - it is a structured diagnostic ADHD assessment designed specifically for evaluating ADHD in adults. Developed by experts in the field, including researchers and clinicians, this tool is tailored to address the unique challenges and manifestations of ADHD in adults.
• Mental health screening with QuickSCID-5 is considered the “gold standard” structured psychiatric diagnostic interview for the main diagnoses of the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition)

We also offer other diagnostic services:

• Electroencephalography (EEG)
• Rheoencephalography (REG)
• Echoencephalography (Echo-EG)

You should see a psychiatrist if you notice lasting changes in your mental state or behavior. For example, if feelings of anxiety, sadness, or irritation persist for a long time and you cannot control these emotions. It's also important to see a professional if you have trouble sleeping, eating, or concentrating, or if you have thoughts of self-harm or suicide. If your loved ones have noticed changes in your behavior, you shouldn't put off a consultation.

If you don't want to see a doctor, talk to a friend or loved one, relatives, any healthcare professional, religious leader, or someone else you trust.

Seeing a psychiatrist early can help you find solutions faster and improve your quality of life.

If you think you may be in danger of harming yourself or attempting suicide, call 7333 or the emergency number 103 immediately.

Neuromodulation methods available in Brainspot:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe therapeutic method based on the effect of magnetic impulses of different frequencies on certain parts of the brain. TMS therapy has been officially approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), known for its strict requirements, and approved for use by the European Committee for Health, included in the clinical protocols of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK, as well as in clinical protocols approved by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. TMS therapy is widely available and recommended in many leading countries of the world.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a method based on the action of the neurons of the brain using a weak direct current of low frequency, which is administered to the scalp via electrodes.

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) is a new and advanced non-invasive brain stimulation technique that involves the impact of shock waves on certain parts of the brain, which causes a therapeutic effect. In 2018, transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) with the NEUROLITH® system was approved for the treatment of the central nervous system in patients with Alzheimer's disease as the only hardware technique method available today.

Neurofeedback is a therapeutic hardware method that involves the regulated "training" of brain neurons in response to external visual or auditory inputs. NEUROFEEDBACK is a new approach to employing biofeedback to treat different mental and neurological diseases. NEUROFEEDBACK is widely used in top clinics in the United States and Europe, and it is incorporated into guidelines and recommendations for the treatment of ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, and PTSD.
