Surge in teen stress levels prompts hospital to offer dedicated support
'As a leading mental healthcare provider, Life Hunterscraig Private Hospital has seen the need for adolescent mental health support and therefore expanded its services to include adolescent mental healthcare. Our six-bed adolescent unit cares for patients from the age of 12 to 17 years old,' says hospital manager Reshma Vanmali. 'We believe that everyone deserves a fulfilling life and therefore we have a dedicated in-patient programme, facilitated by our multidisciplinary team, to support adolescents in their journey to recover from depression, anxiety, substance abuse associated with existing mental health conditions, and other mental health conditions.' The Life Mental Health facility at Life Hunterscraig Private Hospital has been assisting the Gqeberha community for 33 years. This well-established, dedicated mental healthcare facility provides voluntary acute mental health services, including general psychiatry, treatment for substance dependence or other addictions associated with psychiatric conditions. If you feel that you or your teenager cannot escape the pressure of daily living and simple tasks become difficult to complete, it's important to consult a mental health professional. This can be done directly or through your GP, emergency unit or your nearest Life Mental Health facility. This article was sponsored by Life Hunterscraig Private Hospital.
