 Psychological treatment for HIV/AIDS patients' mental health

Gandeepam is also treating the psychological conditions associated with HIV, such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies.

Treatment includes Siddha medicines as well as psychological counseling.

Patients’ psychological states change with the progression of the disease, requiring modification of treatment throughout all HIV stages.

Gandeepam Practices
Patient and family counseling includes education about the nature of HIV, how to treat and manage opportunistic infections, and consistent information on the patient’s own conditions and improvements.

Traditional counseling is based in the Siddha principles of mind-body integration (Yoga). Disharmony between mind & body is believed to contribute to illness and inhibit healing. Gandeepam doctors routinely ask patients to pray according to their own tradition and Gandeepam plans to integrate yoga and meditation.
