Patient Opinions

Thank you for your support and help. Without what I received here, I would be a completely different person. I leave here full of hope and determination. I am grateful for your willingness to work with me and the problems I came here with. Fight, believe in yourself and think positive. It will be difficult, there will be storms and bad days, but in the end there will always be a rainbow!!!

I recommend the doctor wholeheartedly. Every time I leave a visit I feel much better. The treatment is as good as possible, the atmosphere is very friendly and this is very important

Thanks to Ms. Tamara. Heartfelt thanks and expressions of gratitude for the extremely hard work aimed at making life at the center easier for our patients, for their commitment and for all these days, months and years with optimism and kindness towards us - thank you.

Dear Gedeon! Dear Professor, Doctor, Therapists, Dear Community! I wanted to thank you very much for these almost four months here. Thanks to my stay in Gedeon, I finally felt what real life is. I understood many important issues. I realized that I wanted to live and fight the disease. I came here with no strength or will to fight, I was united with the disease, I was one with it. Now I see and separate sick thoughts, I try to deal with them, and it's all thanks to you. Just thank you for everything! Professor, for her vast experience and professionalism, for making time for a consultation even late in the evening, for selecting the right medications to help me, for helping me at any time of the day or night. For kindness, tenderness and understanding, for supporting me in looking for "the real XXX", for maintaining my motivation and sometimes even building it from fragments, for honest conversations that made me think. Mrs. Mariola, the most wonderful therapist in the world, for guiding me, for the wonderful but also difficult individual therapies, during which I slowly began to understand, notice and build strength. Thank you for making me realize that I don't have to do everything, that it's not always my fault. Thank you for your time. Mr. Krzysztof simply for being with me in difficult times. For advice and discussions. For understanding and great music therapy classes and a map of emotions. Thank you for showing me that it is okay to express anger, now I will always remember that the Lord will be happy when I am angry. Mrs. Jowita for the wonderfully conducted group. For your support with my outline. For understanding and guiding the psychodrawing. For feelings, compassion and conversations. Mrs. Sandra for the psychoeducational classes, thanks to which I could better understand my illness, but also the problems of others, where I could learn techniques for coping with difficulties. Thank you also for the emergency conversation when I was having a difficult time in the first month of my stay and for every word of concern. Mrs. Ewelina for youth and social training. Thanks to them, I learned how to distinguish facts from guesses and reduce cognitive distortions, and later I was able to better understand various situations. I was building my self-esteem and finding things that were really important to me, which helped me become better get to know myself and what I want to do. Mrs. Eli from art therapy for awakening my love for painting, for showing me that imperfection is also beautiful and that I can put my feelings on paper. Mrs. Eli, a psychodietician, for the wonderful Thursday cooking, for every conversation thanks to which I could take my mind off the reproaches and motivate myself to fight, for your kindness and empathy. Mrs. Galińska, for allowing me to experience difficult situations differently during psychodrama, and for her support. Mrs. Tamara for listening to requests, Mrs. Uli for every smile and kind word. Nurses for their care and help. Dear Mrs. Sylwia, Mother of Gedeon, thanks to whom I could feel safe here, for her care and words of support. And to you, dear fellow patients, for being here with me, for experiencing, for support and help. It was thanks to you that I was able to really move forward in therapy. I found understanding and help here, and for the first time I felt that I was important to someone. Thank you for everything. THANK YOU ALL FOR SAVING MY LIFE. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.

Dear local government, dear community, I want to thank you all today. For creating a place where I could heal, feel comfortable and safe, at home. I would like to thank Mrs. Mariola very much for conducting individual therapies with me, during which I really got to know myself for the first time, understood and realized many important things. I would like to thank Mr. Krzysztof for the concerts on Sundays, ukulele lessons and the very nice Map of Emotions and Music Therapy, during which I felt it was easy for me to open up. Mrs. Ewelina, Sandra and Jowita for extremely helpful and well-conducted therapies. I have never met better therapists. Mrs. Tamara for taking care of our needs (especially for the flavored inki and fork). And of course, my beloved Mrs. Sylwia, who takes care not only of the center, but also of the patients. You are a super warm and nice person. Thank you for taking care of us. A very important role was also played by the helpful, warm, caring and loved Community, without which there was no way my treatment could have started at all. It is especially thanks to you that I managed to move forward and not stop. I feel the change that has taken place in me with my entire being. I am finally myself from head to toe. I have never felt like this, and now I know that I am finding myself. Before I came here, I was unsure of myself, closed in myself, and now I know how to express my feelings, that I need to talk about them and my own needs. After all, I'm not afraid to express myself or stand my ground in some situations. I'm very happy that I managed to get here and I'm glad that Gedeon exists to help people like me. Without this place, without a caring community, without great therapists, without ukulele lessons, I don't know if I would know how to be myself. Now I feel ready to live the way I want. 

I will finally put my galaxy together. Thank you

My parents brought me to the Center. I didn't want to stay there, but at their persuasion I decided to try treatment. It was getting better every day, I got to know the staff and patients and I acclimatized very quickly, even though I'm not a very open person. I lived in a villa with a family atmosphere, a terrace, deckchairs and a garden swing. After a few weeks, I left as a different person. I want to live, I feel strong and I thank everyone very much for their help. I recommend this place even to the biggest doubters. Try it, you won't regret it.

Thank you for all your goodness. For a smile, a kind word. A wonderful, wonderful place. Keep it up.

Many thanks to the entire community of therapists and patients and the irreplaceable support staff. You are doing wonderful things and keep going. You are very needed not only by us, but also by our families. Thanks for everything, I'm going out into the world, firmly rooted in my own value.

Many thanks to Prof. Dr. hab. n. med. Katarzyna Kucharska for professional medical, therapeutic, neurological and psychiatric care. For the kindness and support shown in difficult times, for the patience, for every phone call answered, for the knowledge and treatment that allowed us to become different - better versions of ourselves once and for all.
