Clinical focus

The areas of expertise of İrem Büşra Taşpınar include Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Hyperactivity and Depression. She also works with patients experiencing Health Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Sleep Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Psychological work in these areas generally begins with a careful assessment of the person’s symptoms, history and current circumstances, so that any subsequent therapeutic work can be planned in a way that suits the individual.

A further part of her practice concerns anxiety-related and phobic conditions, including Panic Disorder, Social and Specific Phobias and Fear of Flying. She also addresses Relationship Problems and Marital Problems. Where appropriate, psychological support may be coordinated with psychiatric colleagues in the Psychiatry & Psychology unit, particularly for conditions such as Bipolar Disorder, in which medical management may also be relevant. The suitability of any particular approach is determined on an individual basis after assessment, and the course of psychological work can vary considerably from one person to another.

How İrem Büşra Taşpınar works with international patients

Patients traveling from abroad are supported by the Acibadem international patient team, which coordinates the collection of prior reports — such as previous psychological or psychiatric assessments, discharge summaries, laboratory results and any relevant imaging reports — arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of previous treatments and existing reports, a clinical assessment and a discussion of the possible options. Because psychological consultations rely heavily on conversation, interpreters can be arranged where needed, and it is helpful to confirm the language of the consultation with the international patient team in advance so that suitable arrangements can be made before the visit.
