A good morning meeting is held by specialist psychologists before or after individual sessions.

How can I bring my relative who refuses treatment ?

While convincing is important, in some cases where there is a risk of the patient harming themselves or others, information can be obtained from the Hospital On-Call Doctor, and support can be provided by an experienced ambulance team.

In some cases, with a letter from the Community Mental Health Centers of the district where the patient resides, an application is made to the District Governor's Office, and the patient is brought to the hospital by ambulance accompanied by a police vehicle assigned by the District Governor's Office.

Can health teams come and take the patient from home ?
