Manathin Maiyam has at its core the psychiatric treatment wing, which takes care of the more serious and disabling psychiatric disorders and diseases.

Myths and prejudiced ideas prevail over the reality of Psychiatric treatment, even in the educated mids of our society. Drug treatment in Manathin Maiyam , like at every point in our service, is bound and enhanced by standardised procedures and internationally recommended protocols of medication usage.

Medication recommendations are governed by the principle of “one medicine for one diagnosis”. This principle ensures that no client is over-prescribed with medicines and that the adverser reaction scenario is almost completely obliterated.

Often an extra drug may be added only to smoothen the experience of the drug regimen. We make people functional and that is the primary aim of treatment. Dysfunction reduction along with symptom reduction is important to us in the larger context of helping create a efficient and functional society.

Where there are difficult decisions to be made, we discuss with the client and families and do a risk-benefit analysis before going in for such decision. Client autonomy and involvement is treatment decisions are highly welcome in Manathin Maiyam.
