Mental illness is just like another medical illness and very much treatable conditions. Still there is so much stigma associated with it. Patients with mental illness don’t seek treatment mainly because of stigma or out of ignorance. Apart from these two there is an other aspect for not seeking treatment which is even more painful. There are people who want to continue their treatment but are forced to leave it in-between because shortage of money to buy medicines.
We believe that No person should be devoid of treatment just because he cannot afford medication. That’s why we buy medicines for them, arrange from pharmaceutical companies, reimburse their bills. To save their time and additional burden of collecting medicine from our office, we also send them medication through courier.
