Mental Health Clinic

Nobody is immune to psychological problem. One has mind and it can have problems, therefore the stigma associated with psychological problem should be addressed. People should have courage to seek help for themselves and their dear ones and also should help those who need help...Dare to Care. Let us join hands to promote mental health and strive to prevent, identify, treat and defeat mental illnesses at all levels & by all means.
 
Brain is an important part of the body as it is the structure which contains billions of neurons that play role in the functioning - the Mind with its various domains/faculties, ie, thinking, emotion(mood), perception, cognition, memory, judgment, attention and orientation, concentration, abstract thinking and reasoning etc. Problems in each of these faculties may be addressed with non pharmacological interventions like counseling, psycho-therapy etc but other methods such as medicine, ECT, TMS etc may be used successfully.
 
Most of psychiatric problems originate from bio-psycho-social factors and are treatable accordingly.
 
Treating psychiatric patients is and art and science and more importantly is a great service to humanity and beside having a pleasure for all, including patient, family, and the therapist.
 
As the field of psychology and psychiatry is patient focused, 
 so keeping in view their due importance, the following narration is being reproduced, of a recovered patient, who is enjoying the status of an earning son of the family and a useful member of society:
 
"Choosing a mental health clinic is an art by itself A private clinic could be a privately run organization that serves people on an outpatient basis, offering access to things like therapy and psychiatry. Other times, people searching for a mental health clinic are really looking for an out-patient clinic, and these might be run by governments or by private industries. Identifying what is needed is the best place to begin a search, and then people may need to take other things into account like whether the clinic takes insurance or other forms of medical payments, and what services we offer. In many locations there will only be one or two government or private run mental health clinic facilities. Particularly, cities like Karachi where there are almost negligible mental health communities are in action , it may not be possible to find a community run one in all areas. If a person is unstable and might need an out-patient support in urgency,our clinic The Mind Centre stands tall .
