Higashi-Shinjuku Kokorono Clinic

I went there hoping I’d get a professional’s opinion after my counselor told me that I might have depression. Went there and my wonderful friend, Dr. Morita who could speak English fluently started giving me meds and every time I’d come back after I’ve taken all the meds he gave me he’d ask me “what do you want to do”. I’m not sure what’s the matter with that guy but last time I checked I wasn’t a professional psychiatrist to know for myself. Months passed and he slowly started increasing the dosages and giving me a different type of meds but I’ve not gotten any better. Recently I went to the clinic to get more meds but the awesome Dr. Morita wasn’t there, so I decided to see another doctor who spoke Japanese. Guess what, that doctor told me that I DID NOT HAVE DEPRESSION ACCORDING TO DR MORITA. So I’ve been paying these wonderful scammers for months in order to get meds I DID NOT NEED TO BEGIN WITH. I’m experiencing an awful withdrawal right now but I’d rather experience that than to ever give them a single yen. Please if you’re reading this and you need help do NOT go to this place. Thank you for making my life messy, I wish I could do more than write a review on Google to destroy your scammy business.

I've been to Dr. M at this clinic for 3 or 4 months in 2019. Unfortunately, it is true that Mr. A wrote. However, there is something I would like to add. This Dr. M seems to be a good doctor who is fluent in English, is friendly to English-speaking patients, and listens well. In other words, for non-Japanese patients. I was introduced to this doctor by my American friend R Tsushinsha's Mr. E, but I was no different from other Japanese psychiatrists. In conclusion, the whole clinic may not be so bad. Other than Dr. M, it may be a good doctor for you. Japanese psychiatrists over-prescribe drugs indiscriminately. Be careful about the side effects of drugs such as benzodiazepines, and you will definitely get hurt if the patient is not smarter.

I am going to the hospital because of adjustment disorder. The clinic I used to go to was trying to solve the problem with medicine as soon as something happened, so I like the fact that this is a policy of maintaining the status quo or reducing the drug, and I don't force it. The correspondence of the reception staff is very good. I think it's one of the best clinics I've ever been to. The reason for the three stars is that it is crowded and you can not enter unless you make a reservation I am reporting on the latest status with the intention of counseling every month. Even if you talk about the current situation and have troubles, it will end up being just a small talk. I was wondering, "Why don't you give me counseling even though I say it's a mental clinic?"

A few years ago, I was taken care of by Dr. Nakayama, the director of the hospital, due to adjustment disorder. I was surprised at first by being a macho teacher (laughs), but he was polite and kind, listened to me properly in a short time, and gave me appropriate advice. For the first time, I had a complicated feeling when I went to the hospital for psychosomatic medicine, but the receptionist was very kind and I was able to go there with peace of mind.

I've been to the hospital for a while, and the teacher is really nice. Honestly, there is a part that understands that what is called a mental illness is up to me (in my case), so I only have time to meet with the director and listen to my story. Feels sunny. Don't overdo it and listen to your concerns about the medicine until you are completely satisfied. I was glad that I chose this clinic because of the kind words. You can rest assured that the pharmacists at the neighboring pharmacies are also very good.
