Clinical focus

Gözde Genç İşleyen’s clinical work is centered on age-appropriate developmental, behavioral, and emotional concerns. She works with adolescents and their families on growth-related concerns, which may include changes in mood, behavior, or social functioning that arise during this stage of development. She also supports children and young people presenting with hyperactivity, where the assessment typically considers attention, impulsivity, and how these patterns affect daily life at home and at school.

Another area of her practice is the psychological assessment and support of eating disorders, which are approached in a cautious and individualized way and, where appropriate, in coordination with other members of the Psychiatry & Psychology team. She also works with individuals experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), focusing on understanding the pattern of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors and how they affect everyday functioning. Consultations are planned around the individual’s needs, and the scope of psychological support is discussed with the patient and, when relevant, the family.

How Gözde Genç İşleyen works with international patients

Gözde Genç İşleyen consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, such as previous psychological or psychiatric assessments, laboratory results, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current concerns, a review of any previous assessments and treatments, a clinical evaluation, and a discussion of the possible options for further support. For international patients who are unable to travel, a video consultation can be arranged as an initial step, during which existing reports may be reviewed and the next steps discussed. Any subsequent assessment or support is planned according to the individual situation of the patient and, where relevant, the family.
