Clinical focus

Dr. Taybıllı sees adult patients with conditions affecting mood, anxiety, behavior, relationships and addiction. Her areas of expertise include obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety, social phobia and hyperactivity. She also assesses and treats personality disorders, including dependent personality disorder.

A further part of her practice is addiction treatment and the care of patients with substance dependence. In addition to individual psychiatric care, Dr. Taybıllı offers family and marriage counselling for patients whose difficulties involve close relationships or the wider family. The approach in each case depends on the individual’s history, symptoms and treatment needs, and is discussed with the patient during the consultation.

How Dr. Taybıllı works with international patients

Dr. Taybıllı consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, such as previous psychiatric or medical reports, laboratory results and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of previous treatments and any existing reports, a clinical assessment and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to speak with Dr. Taybıllı before or instead of traveling to İstanbul; the suitability of a video appointment is considered on a case-by-case basis.
