Wuxi psychological counseling. Director Guo, Department of Psychology, Wuxi Rende Hospital: The first question of psychological counseling is what do you want to consult? What do you want to know? Psychological counseling can be divided into clinical psychology and general psychology.

First, psychological counseling is divided into clinical psychological counseling and general psychological counseling.

1. Clinical psychological consultation. Only in hospitals can psychologists with clinical psychology qualifications and clinicians with clinical psychiatry qualifications undertake it. Psychological counseling, psychological diagnosis and psychotherapy can be carried out. The clients are patients, such as psychological disorders, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia and even schizophrenia.

2. General psychological counseling is not a doctor with clinical qualifications, but a psychological counseling certificate issued by the labor department. You can't work in a hospital, you can only work in a psychological consulting studio or a psychological consulting company recognized by the labor department. We can't do diagnosis and psychotherapy, we can only do psychological counseling (not clinical psychological counseling), and we can't do psychological therapy, which is determined by national laws. The object of consultation is not the patient, but about learning psychology, consumption psychology, marriage psychology and so on. Emphasis: Clinical psychology is the relationship between patients and doctors. General psychology is the relationship between general psychological counselors and ordinary people (not the relationship between patients and doctors).

Second, the charges are obviously different. The fees for clinical psychological consultation and treatment are set by the government, and the fees are relatively low. Every time the clinical psychological consultation is about 20 to 30, the psychological treatment will cost tens of yuan, and the senior experts will go to 200 yuan on 100. However, the fees for general social psychological counseling are not stipulated by the government, and the fees are generally high, ranging from several hundred to several thousand. As far as I know, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of charges. So don't be fooled when you decide to consult.

Third, when you feel that you need psychological counseling, you should think carefully. What do you want to consult? 1. Are you mentally ill or is psychiatric treatment a consultation? If so, you should go to the hospital. 2. Still not sick, just consulting marriage problems and consumer psychology? If you have, you can go to a social psychological counseling studio or company.

Fourth, it should be reminded that all diseases have pathological changes, and diseases without pathological changes do not exist. The pathological change of mental illness is the decline of nerve function, which leads to the imbalance of neurotransmitters and clinical symptoms. Moreover, mental illness is treated with drugs, and most of them have very good results. The combination of drug therapy and psychotherapy is a better treatment. Don't expect psychotherapy to cure mental illness without taking medicine, just as don't expect ideological work to cure pneumonia without taking medicine.

If necessary, you can come to the hospital for free consultation, and call the neurology department to find Director Qiu Yan.
