Psychiatric nursing, or mental health nursing, is a specialized branch of nursing dedicated to providing holistic care to individuals with mental health challenges. It encompasses preventive, curative, promotive, and rehabilitative aspects to ensure comprehensive mental well-being. Psychiatric nurses focus on early identification of mental health issues, delivering evidence-based therapeutic interventions, and fostering a supportive environment for recovery. Through personalized care, counseling, and psycho education, they empower individuals and communities to maintain mental wellness and prevent relapses. Rehabilitation services further aid in reintegrating individuals into society, ensuring they lead fulfilling and productive lives.
