Safe, supervised environment promoting long-term mental wellness.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that significantly disturbs a person’s thought process, perception, emotional responsiveness, and social interaction. While the symptoms and severity of Schizophrenia may vary among individuals, it is generally a persistent and disabling condition. However, medication and rehabilitation have been shown to be effective in treating many patients with Schizophrenia. Unfortunately, approximately 20–25% of patients do not respond to treatment. This resistance to treatment is often due to persistent negative symptoms, noncompliance with medication, negative emotions expressed by family members, and poor social support.
At the residential mental health hospital in Chennai, we provide specialized care and support for individuals who require ongoing supervision and treatment.
Residential care is often favored for patients with Schizophrenia, especially due to the trend toward nuclear families, where siblings and elderly parents may be unable to provide adequate care. This situation makes residential homes for the mentally disabled a crucial option for long-term support. Providing optimal care helps improve the quality of life for individuals and reduces the burden on families.
In our Athma Mind City, we utilize the Psychosocial Model of Rehabilitation (PMR) to help individuals with mental disorders achieve their maximum level of independent functioning in the community. This process involves enhancing personal competencies and adapting environmental conditions to meet the needs of the client.
We also emphasize the importance of human relations, acknowledging that the client is like everyone else but requires support due to their disability. We strive to create a supportive environment where professionals, clients, and family members collaborate effectively to achieve recovery goals.
Each client is assessed individually by a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and caretakers. Appropriate rating scales are used to predict strengths and weaknesses, determine rehabilitation needs, and plan the treatment process. The team also designs customized medicine and diet plans to support overall recovery.
