Occupational therapists in psychiatric settings help individuals manage stress, develop coping strategies, improve social interactions, and engage in meaningful activities. There might include self-care routines, work related tasks, leisure activities, or community participation.

 

Therapy sessions often incorporate exercises that enhance emotional regulation, concentration, and problem-solving, making day-to-day life more manageable.

​

The goal is to empower individuals to function more effectively in their environments, whether at home, work, or in social settings. It can be especially beneficial for those dealing with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other mental health challenges
