đź‘« Psychological Assessment and Support for DR-TB Patients
Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) doesn’t just challenge the body—it deeply affects the mind and emotions. The long and often isolating treatment journey can lead to feelings of fear, anxiety, stigma, and even depression. Recognizing this, we have made psychological assessment and support a core component of our patient care model.
Our approach is grounded in the belief that true healing goes beyond medication—it involves understanding the human experience behind the illness. When patients are mentally and emotionally supported, their ability to complete treatment and return to full health significantly improves.
🧠Key Services Offered:
🧪 Initial Psychological Evaluation
Every registered DR-TB patient receives a comprehensive mental health assessment at the start of their treatment. This helps identify early signs of emotional distress, trauma, or psychological barriers to care.
đź’¬ One-on-One Counseling
Trained counselors provide individual sessions to help patients manage stress, anxiety, and the emotional burden of living with DR-TB. These sessions create a safe space for open dialogue and emotional release.
❤️ Ongoing Psychosocial Support
Our teams offer continuous follow-up, ensuring that patients don’t feel alone during the long treatment process. Counseling also addresses stigma, encourages resilience, and builds patient confidence.
đź‘Ą Why It Matters:
Helps patients reintegrate socially and economically after recovery
Mental health support increases treatment adherence
Reduces treatment dropout rates
Improves overall quality of life for patients
