Ruslan Takhtashov

psychiatrist

   I am a psychiatrist with over eight years of professional experience.
   I gained my professional experience at the Municipal Psychiatric Hospital in Mariupol, the Mental Health Outpatient Clinic No. 6 in Lviv, and at the Lviv National Medical University, where I worked as an assistant to the head of the Department of Psychiatry.

   I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental disorders, including mood disorders, depression, anxiety disorders (including PTSD), adjustment difficulties, and sleep disorders.
I also have experience working with people suffering from personality disorders, as well as with patients facing problems caused by war, political and economic challenges, including emigration.

   Over the years of work, I have realized how important an individual approach to each patient is. I believe that every case requires a separate, in-depth understanding in order to effectively plan therapy.
I strive to combine different approaches and therapeutic methods to best adapt treatment to the patient’s needs.

   My experience includes working in psychiatric wards: inpatient, day care, and within a community treatment team.
I also help people going through emotional crises, particularly in interpersonal or professional relationships.
I am also the author of several publications in the field of psychiatry and a lecturer at the Lviv Medical University.
I have completed a number of specialized trainings in psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapy, which allows me to take a more comprehensive approach to treatment — adapting psychotherapeutic techniques to the unique needs of each patient.

   Outside of my professional work, I am passionate about sports. I also enjoy cooking, especially dishes from various world cuisines, and spending time with good literature and films.
I value meetings with profound and inspiring people — they give me energy and motivation for further professional and personal growth.
