I'm Ben van den Bussche, a Dutch psychiatrist-psychotherapist working at Sunrise Mental Clinic, #112, St. 432 (behind Embassy of China), mobile 090697106. I'm the only foreign psychiatrist working in Cambodia. In Sunrise Mental Clinic I'm working together with 3 Cambodian psychiatrists, 2 Cambodian psychologists and 2 Cambodian doctors. We have our own pharmacy. Almost all (modern) psycho pharmaceuticals are available. Treatments will be according state of the art, international psychiatric guidelines. That can be only counseling or a mix of counseling and medication.
The fee for the first consultation is US $ 40, the fee for follow-up consultations US $ 30.
If you are looking for only counseling Indigo is a good option. I have good contacts with them. We refer to each other if necessary.

Hey there, I highly recommend Ben in Sunrise as a psychiatrist. As previous posters have mentioned Indigo as psychologist, theres also Rachel Pugh who is a counsellor/psychologist. I think she's runs the mind-body centre or similar. Both have excellent reputations.
Hope you find the answers you need.

Do you treat people with adult attention deficit disorder? There have been several people on here who have moved here or are planning to do so but have been concerned about the ability to get medications for this.BenvandenBussche wrote:I'm Ben van den Bussche, a Dutch psychiatrist-psychotherapist working at Sunrise Mental Clinic, #112, St. 432 (behind Embassy of China), mobile 090697106.

Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.

I have a lot of experience in regard treating adults with ADD or ADHD. The problem in Cambodia is indeed that medicines like Ritalin, Concerta, Adderal, Stratera ARE NOT AVAILABLE. With a prescription you can buy Ritalin or Concerta in Thailand (Bungrumrad International Hospital in Bangkok). I advice everyone with ADD or ADHD who is planning to move to Cambodia to bring the medication from home or Thailand (together with a prescription and a letter of a doctor or psychiatrist)OrangeDragon wrote:Do you treat people with adult attention deficit disorder?

Hi Andrea, I am a student of nutrition and I will be in Phnom Penh in a couple of months. I have a special interest in the health of the nervous system (this includes the brain) and have some experience treating long-term/severe anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders are obviously different to depression in terms of symptoms but both types of conditions, when treated using nutrition, involve working with balancing and restoring the health of the nervous system and neurotransmitter function.
If you'd like to meet with me for a free consultation once I am in Phnom Penh, I'd be more than happy to lend an ear and offer some recommendations on diet and lifestyle changes that you might find very useful, within the scope of my abilities as a student.
Kind regards, and take care. And feel free to PM me any time.

Would it be in bad taste to get Ben to analyse some of the contestants for the 440 end of year awards?

Thank you again, everyone
diamond lady, that sounds good. But what are a couple of months? I am going to leave Cambodia in the beginning of June 13.

I think going to a student of nutrition for treatment of psychological disorders is a fabulous idea.
Patient: "I've been having thoughts about killing myself."
Student: "Then you really should eat more cucumbers."

@GavinMac: In my humble opinion and experience, thoughts and emotions stem from the nervous system. The nervous system is but one major bodily system that needs adequate nutrition to function optimally. Reduction of stress is also very important for the health of the nervous system.

diamondlady. as you must be aware nutrition research and practise is damned by a lot of pseudoscience, thus GavinMac's scepticism is to be expected.

I encounter cynicism toward holistic health care often. Equally, I encouter those whose lives have changed for the better because of nutritional and herbal medicine.
As for science, you can find plenty of published research on the efficacy of omega 3, for example, in treating depression, including many placebo-controlled, double-blind studies.
Nutrition science and health is one of my most favourite things to talk about. But as with all conversations, I generally find its much better to have these kind of conversations in person.

Hey, I have nothing against nutrition practice. I believe in the five food groups, the value of a balanced diet, and not eating soup right before you go out drinking beer.
My concern is that Andrea may be certifiably crazy. Let's face it; just about all expats in Phnom Penh are depressed. The fact that Andrea would publicly state that she is depressed and seek treatment for it (despite the expats' well known aversion to spending any money on anything) means that she is probably totally bonkos. She might need prompt intervention from a real psychologist to prevent her from jumping of the Chrouy Changvar bridge or shooting a bunch of tuk tuk drivers from the top of Sorya Mall.
She should go to a real psychologist, or a team of psychologists (preferably from Vienna). She shouldn't wait three months for a nutrition student who is offering a "free consultation."
