Severe Mental Illnesses (Psychotic Disorders)

My private practice operates strictly on a scheduled, daytime outpatient basis and lacks the comprehensive multidisciplinary support network and round-the-clock emergency infrastructure found within a hospital setting. To prevent inappropriate referrals and ensure realistic expectations, it is crucial to clarify which conditions fall outside the clinical scope of my private services.

Regrettably, I am unable to accept patients presenting with the following challenges:

• Active Moderate to Severe Substance Use Disorders (Addiction): These conditions require specialized multidisciplinary addiction treatment (TSB). However, patients with a historical background of substance abuse who are currently stable and sober, and who require treatment for underlying psychiatric conditions such as ADHD or affective disorders, are warmly welcome in my practice.

• Acute Psychosis and Unmanaged Schizophrenic States: These clinical presentations require immediate emergency intervention, continuous monitoring by mobile crisis teams (AAT/FACT), or acute admission to an inpatient psychiatric ward to guarantee the safety of the patient and their surroundings. A private outpatient clinic relies on scheduled sessions and lacks the emergency infrastructure needed to manage a severe break from reality. I can, however, provide continuing care for patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorders who are already established on medical treatment and are in a stable, maintenance phase.

• Acute Crises, Severe Suicidal Ideation, or Intense Self-Harm Impulses: These presentations require 24-hour clinical observation and a highly dense safety network. Such individuals must be managed within public acute psychiatric services. In the event of immediate suicidal danger, emergency medical services (Legevakt: 116 117) or your local acute psychiatric unit must be contacted immediately.

• Severe Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa: Conditions involving critical somatic complications and medical instability, such as an exceptionally low BMI, cardiac arrhythmias, or severe electrolyte imbalances, require integrated multidisciplinary care involving clinical nutritionists, internists, and frequently inpatient hospitalization. As a solo private practitioner, I do not possess the infrastructure to bear this medical and somatic responsibility alone.

• Profound Intellectual Disabilities (F70–F79) with Severe Behavioral Disturbances: These patients generally require heavily coordinated services from the municipality, social services (NAV), specialized housing, and institutional habilitation services. Private outpatient practice is best suited for individuals who possess the cognitive capacity necessary to actively participate in and benefit from outpatient psychotherapy and standard medication monitoring.

• Coercive Care and Forensic Psychiatry: All forms of involuntary treatment (compulsory mental health care) and the clinical follow-up of legally sentenced patients require formal statutory frameworks and institutional settings that belong exclusively to the public healthcare system.

Emergency Services:

This clinic does not provide emergency psychiatric assistance, offering only scheduled diagnostic evaluations and treatment during standard daytime hours.

If you require immediate, acute assistance, please contact:

• Acute Mobile Crisis Team (AAT): Contact the mobile team under the DPS or outpatient clinic at your local hospital during daytime hours.
• Emergency Medical Services (Legevakt): Call the national emergency medical number at 📞 116 117 (available 24/7).
• National Emergency Hotline: In the event of immediate danger to life, call the ambulance service at 📞 113.

The clinic does not offer emergency help, only planned assessment and treatment during daytime hours.
