When you need mental health care but can’t leave home, a psychiatra do domu, specjalista medyczny zajmujący się diagnozowaniem i leczeniem zaburzeń psychicznych, który przyjeżdża do pacjenta w domu. Also known as lekarz psychiatra z dojazdem, it provides critical care for people with depression, anxiety, psychosis, or mobility issues that make clinic visits impossible. To many, this isn’t a luxury—it’s the only way to get help. If you or someone you care about struggles with mental health and can’t go out, a home visit might be the first step toward feeling better.
Unlike regular doctors, psychiatra, lekarski specjalista, który może przepisywać leki i diagnozować choroby psychiczne doesn’t work under NFZ for home visits. That means no free appointments through public healthcare. You’ll pay out of pocket—usually between 300 and 400 zł in Warsaw in 2025. This isn’t a surprise markup; it’s because the system doesn’t fund psychiatric home care. But here’s the thing: if you’re housebound due to severe anxiety, schizophrenia, or recovery after hospitalization, paying for this service isn’t optional—it’s necessary. Some private clinics like LUX MED or Medicover offer it, but you’ll pay more on weekends or evenings. There’s no shortcut.
Who qualifies? Anyone who physically or psychologically can’t reach a clinic. Seniors with dementia, people recovering from trauma, those with agoraphobia, or parents of children with severe behavioral issues—all can request a home visit. You don’t need a referral from a GP, but having medical records helps. The psychiatrist will assess your condition, adjust medications, and may suggest therapy or hospitalization if needed. They don’t just hand out pills—they listen. And that’s often what’s missing in a 10-minute clinic visit.
What about privacy? Your employer won’t know you saw a psychiatrist unless you tell them. Polish law protects medical confidentiality—even if you get a sick note, they only see the dates, not the diagnosis. This is important. Mental health stigma still exists, and knowing you can get help without fear of judgment makes all the difference.
There’s a gap in care. While NFZ covers psychiatric consultations in clinics, it ignores those who can’t get there. That’s why home visits exist—because medicine shouldn’t wait on mobility.
