Information about the treatment
The treatment is intended for mild to moderate mental symptoms and problems and is started immediately after the investigation. Normal treatment time is one year and 10-20 return visits. Medications are prescribed at the start of treatment (if needed) but the dose is reduced as soon as possible and should be fully or partially discontinued at the end of treatment.
And
Before starting treatment, a medical examination should have been performed and blood samples taken to rule out physical illness as the cause of the mental symptoms. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is desirable.
And
The treatment is based on Body State Theory and follows the 13 steps of the basic course, but the practical exercises are individually adapted. EMDR therapy and homework (exercises) as well as general advice on diet and exercise are included.
And
Note that the treatment is not intended for mental symptoms that require hospitalization. The treatment is evaluated using four questionnaires that are filled in at the start of treatment and the end of treatment (optional) *.
