FAQ

Does the medical center treat body dysmorphic disorder?

The clinic's cognitive-behavioral strategies, such as exposure and body acceptance therapy, effectively treat body dysmorphic disorder. However, in the most severe cases, drug therapy is available only in combination with cognitive-behavioral treatment for better results.

Will I receive an additional examination for a bulimia diagnosis?

Laboratory tests check the blood for electrolyte disorders, liver dysfunction, and digestive enzymes. ECG allows the detection of conditions such as cardiac arrhythmia. Finally, a physical examination assesses possible collateral damage, such as salivary gland inflammation and swelling.

Why is Schön Clinic Bad Bramstedt good for sleep disorders?

In addition to conventional treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication, doctors offer CPAP as an effective method to help manage obstructive sleep apnea OSA. While you sleep, a machine provides a constant airflow at constant pressure through the mask.

What is the specialization of the OCD Center?

The clinic is a national reference center for obsessive-compulsive disorder. The medical protocol focuses on intensive exposure and response prevention. Patients work with specialized therapists to confront triggers in real-world settings, such as public spaces or specific home-like environments within the clinic, while systematically suppressing compulsive rituals to re-wire the brain's anxiety response.

How is the healing architecture integrated into treatment?

The facility is designed around the principles of healing architecture, which posits that the physical environment directly influences recovery. In practice, this means the clinic avoids a traditional hospital feel, using specific lighting, warm color palettes, and 27-square-meter therapeutic single rooms. This environment is clinically intended to lower baseline cortisol levels and increase patient engagement in intensive psychotherapy.

What defines the borderline and personality disorder program?

The clinic utilizes dialectical behavior therapy, a highly structured program developed specifically for emotional dysregulation. The medical focus is on skill training, in which patients learn concrete physiological and cognitive techniques to manage intense emotional pressure and prevent self-harm. It includes a specialized Trialog involving patients, relatives, and professionals.

How are eating disorders medically managed?

The clinic treats anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder through a multimodal approach. A key medical tool is the recovery record app, which allows patients to document meals, emotions, and urges in real time for therapist review. Treatment includes instructional cooking and specialized body image therapy to address the physiological and psychological aspects of the disorder simultaneously.

What is the silver generation depression program?

Recognizing that depression in older age requires different clinical approaches, the clinic offers the depression 60-plus concept. This program focuses on life-transition issues such as retirement or bereavement and integrates gerontopsychosomatics, ensuring that age-related physical limitations and polypharmacy (multiple medications) are medically managed alongside the psychiatric treatment.

How does the clinic handle chronic pain and fibromyalgia?

The clinic uses multimodal pain therapy based on the biopsychosocial model.
