It is quite traumatic for any healthy individual to have to stay in the hospital for their body as well as their mind and while they are being treated for their physical ailments we should consider the psychological impact as well. For example people who stay at hospitals can have extreme feelings of depression, boredom and confusion. Here are a few ways that this hospital stay can be a bit brighter for the mind as well.
(1) Visits by Mental Health professionals to discuss such feeling and provide activities to stimulate the mind.
(2) Where possible light group activities to keep individuals socially alert.
(3) Art, music and meditation therapy to help alleviate negative emotions.
