Department of Mental Health Rehabilitation
 
 The brain is the seat of control for all bodily functions, intellect and emotion. Damage to the brain in the form of Alzheimer's disease, Traumatic injury, tumor, stroke, brain infections or epilepsy can affect the functions that the brain controls. Consequently, the patient may suffer from problems such as impairment in physical functioning and in attention and memory. Also common are speech and language problems and changes in mood and personality like irritability and apathy.

If undiagnosed and untreated, these problems severely impair the affected individuals  daily functioning and performance of basic activities such as self-hygiene, dressing eating, communicating etc. The long-term effects are social isolation, depression and increasing of  family stress.

VIMHANS provides multi-speciality rehabilitation services, consisting of rehab-physicians, psychologists, physiotherapists, neurologists, and occupational therapists to help in the assessment and rehabilitation of patients with brain injury and dementia. The center will provide a tailor made rehabilitation program for each patient taking into account the physical as well as the psychological needs.
