We have 15 beded fully equipped well staffed department with one unit. The department treats people with mental health problems. Some of the problems treated here are:
Depression (being very sad so people cannot work, are tearful, do not eat properly etc),
Schizophrenia (often seeing or hearing things that are not real and behaving very strangely)
Manic-depression (go from very very happy to very very sad)
Obsessive-compulsive behaviour (doing things again and again even though they do not need doing eg cleaning hands 20 times even when they are clean)
Phobias – being very afraid of things when they are not dangerous
Addiction problems are treated eg alcohol and drug addiction – including detoxification
