"I'm tired of living…"
Since becoming a physician, I have encountered many patients who have expressed exactly these words.
Conducting examinations and tests, making a diagnosis, and prescribing medication.
I have long wondered whether this alone truly represents the best possible care for each patient.
It is a question I have carried with me throughout my career.
Despite receiving standard care, there have been lives that were suddenly, unexpectedly lost.
Through countless encounters with lives hanging in the balance, I have come to believe that medicine and physicians alone have their limits when it comes to protecting each precious, irreplaceable life.
Every patient comes with their own unique background — their upbringing, daily life, family, relationships, and work.
It was this belief — that I wanted to care for patients not just physically, but holistically, taking their life circumstances and personal background into account, and truly being present for them emotionally — that led me to choose the path of psychiatry.
Alongside my work in hospital-based psychiatry, I have also developed expertise in primary care — visiting elderly care facilities and patients' homes directly as a Home Visit Care physician, providing comprehensive initial treatment.
In opening Keldsen Family Clinic, we are committed to the following guiding principles:
- To become a natural part of each person's everyday life,
and care for mind and body as one.
- To provide care that embraces the whole family.
- To reach patients through Home Visit Care and Telemedicine,
and support as many people as possible.
- To collaborate with a wide range of local specialists
in delivering care.
- To extend care to patients in remote areas.
- To serve both foreign residents and visitors in Japan.
Physicians come in many forms. Some excel at tackling complex diseases in advanced medical centers, performing specialized surgeries, and pioneering innovative treatments one after another.
And then there are physicians like me — those whose strength lies not only in treating illness, but in truly listening to and connecting with each patient as a person.
Whether you're feeling just a little worn down by life, unsure of what the future holds, struggling with physical symptoms that keep you from doing what you love, or simply in need of someone to talk to — we hope that Keldsen Family Clinic can be a place where your heart can rest.
