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. The clinic also provides support for return to work for those already on medical leave and offers consultation for a wide range of concerns related to insomnia and stress. With a unique background as the chief priest of Jodo Shinshu temple Tokusho-ji, the director approaches mental health issues from both psychiatric and Buddhist perspectives, making this a distinctive feature of the clinic. While there are some limitations on clinic hours, the clinic is committed to serving local patients within its capacity. The director also authors books on mental health, disseminating expertise to the general public in an accessible manner. Consultations are by appointment only, and afternoons on the 2nd and 4th Fridays are reserved for psychological testing only. English-language consultations are available, and parking is provided.
