The Department of Psychiatry is a specialized department of Bangkok Chiang Mai Hospital that offers treatment for mental health and psychiatric issues for both Thai and foreign individuals, from children, adolescents, adults, to the elderly. It is staffed by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, specialized nurses, and counselors, working in a multidisciplinary team according to professional standards, with the service users being the center of care. Additionally, it provides treatment for substance use issues, including tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs, using both medication and psychotherapy.
Why see a psychiatrist?
Seeing a psychiatrist does not mean mental weakness. Many issues can affect daily life, such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, worsening concentration, mood fluctuations, or problems affecting others, such as spousal or family issues, adaptation problems, or coping with changes or crises in life. These issues can be addressed with the help of a psychiatrist through counseling and, if necessary, medication based on the individual needs of the service user.

Questions and Answers
Is hospitalization necessary for psychiatric treatment?
Bangkok Chiang Mai Hospital provides outpatient treatment for mental health and psychiatric issues. Inpatient treatment or hospitalization is available for patients experiencing withdrawal symptoms after stopping drug and substance use, and for psychiatric patients with co-existing medical conditions.
What should I do if I want treatment but am afraid others will know?
Bangkok Chiang Mai Hospital has a policy to maintain patient confidentiality, and information regarding the treatment from the psychiatry clinic will be kept confidential and de-identified. Information will only be disclosed with the consent of the patient or in emergencies, such as life-threatening medical issues or as required by law.
After stopping heroin, I have body aches, insomnia, and chills all the time. How should I treat this?
Treatment for withdrawal symptoms from opioids, such as heroin, includes medications like methadone, along with counseling to prevent relapse. For convenience, it is recommended to inquire about consultation times and schedule appointments in advance, as each treatment session may take time to ensure that service users benefit maximally from each visit.
