The Eurasian Center for Mental Health (ECMH)
Treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, phobias, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Atropine therapy (CCB) — over 150,000 sessions in 35 years.
The Eurasian Center for Mental Health (ECMH) was established in 2012 at the Nazaraliev Medical Center (MCN) facility. For the past 35 years, the clinic has been specializing in the treatment and rehabilitation of drug and alcohol addicted patients, followed by the correction and rehabilitation of their mental state.
More than 20,000 patients who underwent Author's Treatment Technology have been successfully treated. In 90% of the cases, after the release of withdrawal symptoms, doctors have focused on manic-depressive syndromes, bipolar personality disorders, helped to work on identity crises, compulsive behaviors, neuroses and other mental disorders, including severe illnesses such as schizophrenia.
Leading specialists
Leading psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists work at the Eurasian Center for Mental Health. Our doctors know how to stop schizophrenic tendencies and rid patients of insomnia, depression, post-traumatic syndrome and stress in a short time.
Atropine therapy serves the base for our treatment technology. We also call it a Central Cholinolytic Blockade (CCB).
The therapy was discovered in the mid 20th century in the USA, in order to treat schizophrenia. However, under the pressure of pharmaceutical companies, the method was banned. In Europe, on the other hand, the method was continuously improved until the mid 1990s. For the past 35 years, our medical institution has contributed colossal scientific and practical effort into its further development.
150,000+ atropine sessions
We have conducted more than 150,000 atropine sessions and published 20 scientific works devoted to using atropine therapy for treating addictions, schizophrenia, compulsive behaviors, affective and pathological behavior disorders, severe depression and phobias.
How atropine works
Atropine is the organic alkaloid contained in naturally growing dope — Datura Solanaceae. Atropine blocks certain impulses in the brain which affect the neurons. Under this medical drug the patient falls into a very deep sleep. During this sleep the drug starts working. A precise dosage of atropine allows reloading of the psycho-physical state of the patient and ridding of the illnesses' symptoms.
In general, adren-, noradren- and serotonergic levels in the body normalise and the efficacy of prescribed neuroleptics during the treatment also improves. Altogether this leads to very rapid positive dynamics and effects.
More than 20% of mentally ill patients recover completely. Another 50% undergo additional sessions. Another 30% require continuous therapy and treatment.
After 2 weeks of atropine therapy, doctors strengthen the results achieved by working with patients on personality identification, training them how to withstand stress and helping to rid them of the underlying causes of their illnesses.
Treatment by communication
Treatment by communication is vital during the rehabilitation period of patients with schizophrenia. Considering the closure and isolation from society, we suggest that our patients switch from a doctor-patient communication model to a group-patient communication model, followed by communicating with a group of civilians. International practical experience shows that communicating with people provides skills for everyday life and reduces the risks of relapse in the future.
We also insist on a family approach treatment method whereby the patient is hospitalised together with a co-dependent person: mother, sister, wife, husband, etc. Our specialists work with patients and their loved ones, helping to reduce the exanthropic (outside of the human body) causes of the illnesses. This approach is based on the principle that any psychological problem within a family also reflects on other family members. We help to attain the best psychological climate inside the family and train the family members on how to live with a person who has mental disorders, if permanent ridding of the illness is not possible.
Our long-time, practical experience proves that treating patients together with a family member drastically improves the overall effects of treatment and patients' rehabilitation.
Complex method
Our method is complex. Our treatment method guarantees normalization of the mental state, ridding of relapses in the future and further socialization of the patient. We offer our patients an individual, multilevel approach for returning to a normal, fulfilled life.
Treatment stages
1. First 7-10 days: Complete health check-up and evaluation of the patient, detection and confirmation of the diagnosis, latent complications and disorders. Development of the individual's treatment scheme.
2. Next 20-40 days: Conducting the treatment according to the individual's scheme.
Our clinic is located in an eco-zone. Picturesque mountains, stone gardens, mountains, rivers, and fresh air contribute towards a fast and pleasant rehabilitation. The treatment course also offers a visit to the mountain lake Issyk-Kul, where patients receive rejuvenating spa treatments.

Treatment Stages
An individual, multilevel approach for returning to a normal, fulfilled life
Diagnosis & CCB
First 7–10 days: complete health check-up, detection and confirmation of the diagnosis, latent complications and disorders. Development of the individual treatment scheme. Pharmacological psycho-correction with CCB (2–6 atropine therapy sessions).
Atropine is the organic alkaloid contained in naturally growing plants. It blocks certain impulses in the brain which affect the neurons. Under this drug the patient falls into a very deep sleep during which a psycho-physical "reboot" occurs.
A precise dosage of atropine allows removal of the illness symptoms. Various body systems normalize and the efficacy of neuroleptics improves.
Behavioral & Psychological Correction
Psychological rehabilitation program conducted by psychologists and psychotherapists under psychiatrist supervision. Includes group and individual psychotherapy, MindCrafting program on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul.
Group and individual psychotherapy, Hellinger constellations, transactional analysis, body-oriented therapy, art therapy, personal growth groups.
"Labyrinth" psycho-technique for working with psychological traumas.
Consolidation of Results
The third stage consolidates treatment results on a symbolic level. Patients leave behind painful memories and enter a new, productive life.
Patients discard stones they've worked with during psychological trainings, transferring negative emotions onto them.
Then they tie fabric strips to hawthorn branches, connecting with the plant's strength. Tying a firm knot, the patient consciously and subconsciously "anchors" the moment of breaking the vicious cycle.
Finally, patients burn clothing reminding them of the past and illness. The memory of the negative past transforms to ash. The ritual actions remain in the patient's consciousness and subconscious, positively affecting remission duration.

What our patients say
Real reviews from people who completed treatment at NMC
I took drugs for over 7 years, mostly heroin. Ione day, stumbled upon article in The New York Times. I went through rehab before, and done the anonymous alcoholics program. I was still missing something out during my treatments. My friends didn’t believe I can quit. I was at the bottom of the pit. Here in Bishkek they said they will give me a chance and help me but the rest of the work I had to do myself. I’d like to thank personally dr Nazraliev, thanks Doc! I feel as if I was brought back from hell. I feel reborn!
