Nguyen Dao Uyen Trang, MD, MSc, graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in General Medicine from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City in 2018. She excelled to become a resident doctor in the psychiatry department in 2019 and obtained her Master’s degree in Medicine from the same university in 2021. Furthermore, Dr Uyen Trang actively updates her knowledge through continuous training courses in the field of psychiatry, both domestically and internationally.
Despite her young age, Dr Uyen Trang is deeply concerned about mental health and aims to provide patients with positive treatment solutions to improve their quality of life. She has advised, supported, and accompanied many patients dealing with insomnia-related issues. Additionally, she helps patients cope with stress, anxiety, environmental stimuli, and overcome these challenges on their own.
According to Dr Uyen Trang, mental illness is not as frightening and difficult to treat as many people believe because everyone faces psychological difficulties and challenges in life. The task of a psychiatrist is to assess the patient’s condition and determine their origins, including psychiatric disorders, physical illnesses, or a combination of both. Treatment can then be administered through medication, psychotherapy, or referral to mental health counseling specialists or psychologists for specialised treatment if necessary.
Since April 2024, Dr Uyen Trang has officially joined the Psychiatry Department at FV Hospital, specialising in the treatment of disorders such as:
- Sleep Disorders
- Anxiety Disorders
- Depression
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Substance Use Disorders and Related Disorders
- Bipolar Disorder
- Geriatric Psychiatry
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treatment for individuals aged 7 and above.
Moreover, Dr Uyen Trang is a member of the executive committee of the Insomnia Association, the Vietnam Society of Sleep Medicine, and has presented valuable reports at national psychiatric conferences. She previously worked at Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital from 2018 to 2023 and is currently involved in teaching at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City.
