Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Şüküroğlu’s work involves mood and anxiety conditions. She assesses and treats patients with major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders and panic disorder. She also sees patients with post-traumatic stress disorder and atypical psychosis. In each case, the assessment aims to clarify the diagnosis and to discuss treatment options that are appropriate for the individual patient’s symptoms, history and circumstances. Because psychiatric conditions can present differently from one person to another, the plan is reviewed and adjusted as the patient’s situation develops.

Sleep-related complaints form another area of her practice. She evaluates patients with insomnia and other sleep disorders, and her areas of expertise also include sleep apnea. In addition, she works with patients presenting with hyperactivity, and she offers family and marriage counselling, which addresses relationship and family concerns with individuals and couples.

How Dr. Şüküroğlu works with international patients

Dr. Şüküroğlu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. In psychiatry, this conversation is central: the patient’s own account of their concerns, mood, sleep and daily functioning guides the assessment, alongside any records from previous care. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be considered for an initial discussion or for follow-up after a visit to the hospital.
