Last year, over 400.000 Portuguese individuals were diagnosed with depression. In Portugal, approximately 26% of the population has shown symptoms of anxiety, and 57% have come close to experiencing burnout, making it one of the countries with the highest levels of anxiety worldwide.
Mental health is a fundamental aspect of our lives, and today, we understand that it requires attention from each of us, both for our own mental health and that of those around us, at all stages of life. Among working-age adults, around 50% of Portuguese individuals suffer from symptoms related to attention deficit. Regarding parenthood, which most of us will experience at some point in our lives, approximately 30% of women and 10% of men suffer from some form of postpartum depression. Knowing that a significant portion of people experiencing emotional, cognitive, anxiety-related, or depressive distress is resistant to drug treatment, professional integrated care with continuous and appropriate medical oversight becomes crucial.
The mental health unit at Joaquim Chaves Saúde brings together specialized teams in the fields of psychology and psychiatry who work in full coordination to provide individualized and integrated care to each person. For children, adults, and the elderly, our experienced medical teams can diagnose, treat, and manage various symptom profiles through specialized consultations, therapy, and appropriate medication. Do not neglect your mental health or that of those around you. Break the stigma and schedule a consultation with us through the personal area of our website or on our app.
