A is a client with paranoid schizophrenia.Published 22/03/2017Psychesoma started work with him on a secure ward in 2014 and has continued to work with him through his progression to a supported living facility on his recovery pathway to a stable lifestyle and independent living. Psychesoma has worked closely with the healthcare teams to improve his fitness and mood states. Despite the psychotropic drugs that he takes, he has achieved a 21kg weight loss. His mood state has improved sufficiently to allow a reduction in drug therapy. He now feels a sense of real achievement and an improved sense of social involvement, and he is living independently in the community.
“Exercising and working with Psychesoma helps me cope with my paranoia. I look forward to sessions very much, my mood improves, and they set me up for the day. I feel less tired; I feel well and my body is much healthier.”
