Schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder are chronic psychiatric conditions characterized by disturbances in thought, perception, and behavior. While pharmacotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, there is growing recognition of the importance of integrating non-pharmacological interventions, such as art therapy, to enhance functional outcomes and alleviate symptoms. This article reviews current clinical evidence supporting the use of art therapy as an adjunctive treatment for these disorders.

How does VR therapy help patients with anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD? Valery Kravitz shares practical insights from IsraClinic's integrative psychiatric practice.
Virtual reality in psychiatry opens the door to safe, guided exposure that helps reduce fear and increases a patient’s willingness to engage. It is especially useful for individuals who find traditional therapeutic approaches overwhelming or ineffective.

Some women feel everything too much. Too emotional. Too intense. Too dependent. Too unpredictable. And when the same patterns repeat again and again — in relationships, at work, in family dynamics — there’s a question that begins to echo inside: “Is there something wrong with me?”

By the time many of these women reach my clinic, they’re worn out. They’ve heard from others that they’re “too much,” “unstable,” or “always ruining things.” But in truth? They’re living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) — and no one ever explained it to them.

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life, including mental health. More and more people now turn to chatbots before speaking to a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, or clinical psychologist. This is easy to understand: it is fast, available at any time, and often feels simpler than arranging a real consultation.

At IsraClinic, we are not against new technologies. Digital tools can be useful when they are used correctly. They may help a person organize symptoms, prepare questions, track mood or sleep, and better understand when it is time to seek professional help.

The problem starts when a chatbot is used instead of a doctor.
