Patient Guide

Since 1994, VIMHANS has been dedicatedly running a licensed in-patient facility, the ONLY of its kind in North India. Our institution lays heavy emphasis on taking a holistic yet customised approach for every person with mental illness admitted with us – and hopefully lay the foundation for his/her recovery journey. While in-patient facilities around the world are designed keeping in mind pharmacological and biological inputs, we strive to customise every individual’s stay at VIMHANS by delivering services on the Bio-Psycho-Social model.

*The basic aim of psychoeducation is to provide client and family members knowledge about various facets of the illness, its prognosis, its course, and its treatment. It is important that relatives of the patient be given time to confront the painful fact of the illness and what it entails as a whole. This helps family and patients to work together with the mental health professionals for better outcomes and also helps in increasing awareness about mental disorders. Psychoeducation is always tailored according to the needs of the patient and caregivers. It is also a cost effective and simple modality of treatment.
