[Condition: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)] Purpose of visit: Integrated psychotherapy and pharmacological treatment. Treatment outcome: Satisfactory. Physician's attitude: The doctor was very patient and addressed my many obsessive questions. I suffered from compulsive hand-washing for several years, which caused my skin to peel. I received treatment at Peking University Sixth Hospital involving Sertraline combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My compulsive behaviors have decreased by 70%, and my psychological burden has been significantly reduced. I feel as though I have been given a new lease on life.

[Post-consultation Review] Condition: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Purpose of visit: Seeking psychotherapy and pharmacological support. After suffering from compulsive hand-washing and repetitive checking for several years, the physicians at the Sixth Hospital have truly given me hope for recovery. The doctor is highly proficient and developed a comprehensive treatment plan combining Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with medication. Their demeanor was patient and composed, consistently encouraging me to confront my fears. My compulsive behaviors have now decreased by more than 80%, and my quality of life has significantly improved. This is the most responsible physician I have ever encountered.

[Post-consultation Review] Condition: Severe insomnia. Purpose of visit: Improve sleep quality. Treatment outcome: Very satisfied. Attitude: Attentive and thorough. Having been dependent on sleeping pills for years with diminishing results, I sought treatment at the Sleep Medicine Department of Peking University Sixth Hospital. Rather than simply prescribing medication, the physician performed a comprehensive polysomnography (PSG) study to identify the underlying causes. Through gradual substitution therapy, I can now sleep naturally for 5-6 hours, and my daytime energy levels have significantly improved. The physician's clinical expertise is truly exceptional.

[Post-consultation Review] Condition: Somatization disorder. Reason for visit: Chronic stomach pain and headaches with no identified cause. Treatment outcome: Significant improvement. Provider attitude: Approachable and friendly. After visiting gastroenterology and neurology departments at several major hospitals without a diagnosis, I finally came to the Sixth People's Hospital. The physician conducted a very thorough examination and meticulously identified emotional stress as the root cause. After receiving targeted treatment, the stomach pain I had suffered from for years was remarkably relieved. The physician's bedside manner was excellent; they patiently addressed all my concerns. Their clinical expertise is highly trustworthy.
