TU Psychiatry Clinic extends the service to assist the family’s member or relatives to understand that multiple factors contribute to patients with brain injuries being at higher risk for abnormal fatigue. Recognizing these factors can help in providing appropriate support and care for their well-being.
The stigma associated with mental health care discourages individuals from reaching out for help, creating barriers to effective treatment. Addressing these perceptions is crucial for fostering a supportive environment where seeking help is seen as a positive step toward well-being.
