Exercise for Mental Health Patients

Genuine Case studies

A is a client with paranoid schizophrenia.
Psychesoma 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.”
