Psychological help for patients.
HIV/AIDS poses a significant psychological burden. People with HIV often suffer from depression and anxiety as they accept the consequences of a diagnosis of the infection and deal with the difficulties of living with a life-threatening chronic illness, such as shortened life expectancy, complex treatment regimens, stigma, and loss of social support from others. family or friends.
Goal.
HIV infection may be associated with a high risk of suicide or attempted suicide. Psychological predictors of suicide in HIV-infected individuals include comorbid substance use disorders, a history of depression, and lack of hope. Depression can range from mild to severe and its symptoms can affect your daily life. To avoid this, we need the intervention of mental health professionals who can carry out both an individual and a group process where appropriate techniques will be applied to the needs of each patient. We know that good mental health will help them live fully and is essential for effective HIV treatment. To help manage your mental health, it's important to know when, how, and where to get help.
Using a therapeutic process guided by a mental health professional, we can improve quality of life by eliminating bad habits, solving patient questions, improving internal and external relationships (social, family, marital).
