We address mental well-being holistically and without judgement
Mental health can be met with fear and misunderstanding, but it can touch us all. This is why we provide patients with education, information, advanced therapies, and tools to help them lead productive and fulfilling lives.
At Glenmarks, you will have access to care by dedicated psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, a clinical pharmacist, dieticians, physiotherapists, general practitioners (GPs), and social workers – all combining their years of expertise with compassion to provide quality care.
Glenmarks is one of few clinics in South Africa that offers on-site Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to treat major depressive disorders, anxiety, obsessive compulsive behaviour and other disorders.

This treatment does not require anaesthesia.

Continuation of care
Our multi-disciplinary services, offered by qualified practitioners at our facility, provide the support and treatments needed to achieve and maintain mental wellness and help prevent relapse.
Discharge Planning: Before the patient leaves the hospital, we create a personalised discharge plan detailing their specific needs. This plan emphasises the importance of medication management, health education, and ongoing support. We assist with follow-up appointment dates to encourage patients to stay on track with their treatment plans.
Medication Management: Upon discharge, the treating psychiatrist reviews the patient’s medication, reiterating any potential risks or side effects, and encourages them to follow their prescriptions carefully. We provide education on the importance of medication adherence, and patients are advised to reach out to their psychiatrist if they experience any side effects or feel unwell on their medication.
Support Networks: We assist our patients in finding relevant support groups to help them maintain stability within their respective communities.
At Glenmarks, you will be under the care of the finest doctors, who combine their expertise with compassion to provide personalised care. Together, we offer a complete basket of care tailored to the diverse needs of each individual seeking support.
