Mental Health

Mental health refers to cognitive and emotional wellbeing and the ability to enjoy life, find a balance between metal and physical activities, and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.

Psychological disorders can be alarming for both patients and their loved ones and are most often characterized by the inability of the individual to fully enjoy life and deal with life’s unpredictable challenges. It is commonly thought that the most frequent psychological disorders are caused by genetic factors, but also by stress and the lack of balance and stability in the individuals’ lifestyles. However, transplant statistics show that post-transplant psychological disorders are very common among patients after the transplantation procedure.

People suffering from psychological disorders can seek assistance at specialized mental health clinics that offer methods, strategies and techniques that can help patients and their families deal with their condition. Moreover, mental health clinics are specialized in finding criteria for evaluating successful treatment for each patient.

Free patient education can also be a resourceful means of helping not only those suffering of psychological disorders, but also those from their entourage, as it provides valuable information on a variety of disorders and possible treatments. Another important aspect of free patient education is that it focuses on the right of individuals to treatment, as well as on their right to decline treatment.
