Apple Clinic
About
Apple Clinic is a psychiatric clinic located in Minami-Gofukucho, Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture. It specializes in treating various mental and physical symptoms such as depression, insomnia, and anxiety, taking an approach that considers not only individual symptoms but also the patient's history and overall life circumstances. In treatment, the clinic prioritizes thorough dialogue rather than relying heavily on medication. A distinctive feature is conducting treatment through the introduction of related books, recommendations of TV programs, and daily email exchanges. Women comprise approximately 60-70% of the patient population, with an increasing trend in cases of psychosomatic disorders, school refusal, domestic violence, pachinko addiction, and alcohol addiction stemming from marital and parent-child conflicts or stress. Based on these backgrounds, treatment emphasizes collaboration with family members. There is also an increasing number of patients visiting with concerns about adult developmental disorders. The clinic is equipped with parking and can provide services in English. Closed days are Thursdays, Sundays, national holidays, and the year-end and New Year period from December 29 to January 3.
