  What body focused therapies would you recommend for burnout (to complement talk therapy)?

  • I would like to recommend Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). It's an evidence-based program that integrates elements of cognitive therapy with mindfulness practices. It has been shown to be effective in preventing the recurrence of depression and reducing symptoms of anxiety, as well as burnout. A study on the effectiveness of MBCT on burnout symptoms in British doctors has revealed that after treatment, emotional exhaustion (the central dimension of burnout) was reduced and personal accomplishment scores were increased (Hamilton-West et al., 2018).
    
    MBCT emphasizes on cultivating mindfulness, which involves paying attent...ion to the present moment without judgment. This can be particularly helpful in managing stress and promoting a greater sense of balance in your life. The combination of cognitive therapy techniques and mindfulness exercises in MBCT may provide valuable tools to navigate the challenges associated with burnout.

  If I want to get a treatment for binge eating disorder and I want to be treated in an hospital in Brussels to whom should I refer to? to which medical branch/department should I refer to. How do I fix an appointment?

  • Hello,
    Regarding the hospitalisation of binge eating disorder, I would suggest you take an appointment with a psychiatrist or a psychiatric department at one of the hospitals in Brussels: Erasme Hospital (Anderlecht), Saint Louis Hospital (Woluwe), Delta Hospital (Ixelles) or Leopold Parc Clinic (Ixelles), to name a few.
    Each of these have a website to fix an appointment as well as an English version to make it easier for you, or you can find the practitioners here on DoctorAnyTime.
    Wishing you the best.

  Where should I go for ADHD disorder. I have problems about concentration and focusing on a single task and also cant help thinkin of thousands thoughts and getting distracted

  • Hello
    Regarding ADHD, I would suggest visiting a neuropsychologist directly (you can find excellent practionners on this website). They are specialised in evaluating cognitive functions such as attention, memory and planification, to list a few examples.
    They will be more than able to help you in evaluating what's troubling you.
    Take care.
