Psychotherapy

Hello, my name is  Dr. Shereen Mamdouh. I'm a psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
I'm specialized in adolescent and adult psychiatry. I love psychotherapy because through talk sessions, the patient and I form a therapeutic alliance where we both grow and learn how to overcome difficulties.Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.
When needed, drugs are prescribed as well, in addition to therapy in order to better control mental illness.
I hope that the stigma of mental illness is lessened through knowledge and I really wish people would start dealing with mental illness like any other organic disease. I hope the psychiatric patient is loved and cared for, not avoided or feared of.
