About
Higashiya Psychosomatic Internal Medicine, located in Minamimachi, Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, is a clinic specializing in psychosomatic medicine and psychiatry. The director specializes in mental health for working people, addressing symptoms such as inability to sleep despite fatigue, decreased appetite and weight loss, declining performance in tasks that were previously manageable, and lack of motivation even on holidays.
