Schizophrenia rehabilitation hospital near me

Category: Health

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia during which time I found myself deeply in crisis. My first reaction was shock and denial. I wouldn’t be surprised if this reaction is common for people in similar situations. The episode, it’s a belief that nobody can be trusted. It’s the supernatural, voices in one’s head that can be either audible or telepathy-like, an unshakeable belief in aspects of consciousness that no others can perceive, or, if they do, that they apparently choose not to talk about. It’s a weirdness that feels completely natural and right, weirdness that others might observe but a person will heatedly argue is nothing of the sort. It took me some time to accept it. When I did, I sought help. I searched for rehabilitation center for schizophrenia. I came across Wisdom Matters Neuropsychiatry and Wellness Center, a rehab Center in Pune. No need to say it helped me profoundly. In the period of recovery, trying to make sense of it all, to find one’s own meaning and trying to regain what it seems is lost, slipping in and out of knowing and unknowing, sometimes never being quite sure which is which. Also it meant taking medication and managing to devise effective tactics to stay well. I now take a low daily dose of a medication which reduces the symptoms and makes my life manageable. When I was in the rehab which was also a rehab for depression I saw a lot of my peers recover from depression. It was very motivating and helped me get better. To consistently manage my symptoms I indulged into art which was therapeutic. I joined a peer support group which is also an initiative by Wisdom Matters. Recovery is possible. Somehow, against the odds, something went right for me. My biggest wish now is for others - despite what is sometimes a struggle, and no matter the place, the person is at in their journey – that they, too, may experience in some measure the joys and fulfilment I’ve known. I want to see others succeed.
