Psychiatry at Active Health Clinic

Pain is never just physical — it is also shaped by our brain and emotions. The brain not only interprets the intensity of pain but also creates the emotional response that comes with it, which explains why chronic pain is so often linked to stress, anxiety, and depression. Living with persistent discomfort can generate a vicious cycle: pain increases emotional distress, and in turn, anxiety and low mood make the pain feel even worse. At Active Health Clinic Beirut, our psychiatry and psychotherapy services address this mind–body connection. Our psychiatrist help patients manage anxiety, overcome depressive symptoms, and build emotional resilience, which reduces the perception of pain and improves quality of life.
