About
Located in Shirakawa City on the border between Fukushima and Tochigi Prefectures, Nanko Kokoro Clinic provides psychiatric care rooted in the community. The clinic was established in 2004 when a psychiatric hospital with over 30 years of history closed, embodying a shift from inpatient-centered care to outpatient and daycare-centered treatment. Medical specialties include psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, internal medicine, and neurology. The clinic addresses a wide range of ages and conditions, from mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder to developmental disorders in children, schizophrenia, and dementia. Experienced specialists conduct careful examinations, and the clinic has established a system where doctors and staff work together to support each patient's social reintegration. The psychiatric daycare offers diverse programs aimed at promoting recovery, stabilizing daily routines, and facilitating return to work, with free transportation services available for those who wish to use them. In addition to English-language support, the clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities, creating an accessible environment for people in various situations. Consultations are held Monday through Friday, and appointments are required for first-time visits.
