متخصص روان‌پزشکی، استاد دانشگاه، پژوهشگر اختلالات خلقی و رفتاردرمانگر

من، دکتر سید مهدی صمیمی اردستانی، روان‌پزشک، عضو هیئت علمی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی و پژوهشگر حوزه سلامت روان هستم. بیش از دو دهه است که در حوزه آموزش، درمان و پژوهش دراختلالات روان‌پزشکی فعالیت میکنم. تمرکز من، از همان سال‌های آغازین، معطوف به شناخت عمیق‌تر اختلالات روانپزشکی (اختلاات اضطرابی و خلقی، اعتیاد و به‌ویژه اختلال دوقطبی) بوده است.

تجربه بالینی با بیماران مبتلا به بیماریهای روان، بارها به من نشان داده که نوسانات خلق، چالش‌های درونی و سوءبرداشت‌های اجتماعی می‌تواند تأثیر عمیقی بر کیفیت زندگی فرد بگذارد. همین تجربه‌ها، مرا به سمت یادگیری و کسب مهارت در درمان‌های غیر دارویی به‌ویژه رفتاردرمانی شناختی (CBT) سوق داد.
رفتاردرمانی برای من تنها یک تکنیک نیست، بلکه ابزاری مؤثر برای کمک به بیماران در مسیر بازسازی شناخت‌ها، تنظیم هیجانات و به‌دست‌آوردن کنترل بر رفتارروزمره آنهاست.

ترکیب دانش روان‌پزشکی با مهارت‌ درمانهای غیر دارویی، به من این امکان را داده تا در کنار درمان دارویی، از مداخلات شناختی-رفتاری مؤثر به ویژه در اختلالات اضطرابی (شامل وسواس، فوبیا و ترسهای مرضی) اختلالات جنسی (شامل اختلال در عملکرد وهویت جنسی )، بهره ببرم.

از سال ۱۳۹۳ تاکنون، به عنوان رئیس شاخه ایرانی انجمن جهانی اختلال دوقطبی (ISBD)، در تلاش بوده‌ام تا دانش روز، خدمات درمانی مؤثر، و حمایت اجتماعی را در کنار هم برای ارتقاء سلامت روان در کشور فراهم کنم.

برای من، روان‌پزشکی فقط یک تخصص پزشکی نیست؛ بلکه تلاشی انسانی برای دیدن و درک افرادیست که در سکوت، با ذهن و احساسشان درگیر هستند. تلاشی برای ساختن فضایی امن‌تر، آگاهانه ‌ترو همدلانه ‌ برای درک رنج‌های روان‌.
