Psychological support is a key and fundamental part of rehabilitation, as an illness or injury that leads to functional loss affects not only the body but also the mental balance of the patient and his family.

Quite often, the decrease in functionality and the loss of autonomy are accompanied by:

  • anxiety and fear
  • sadness or anger
  • feeling of losing control
  • difficulty in adapting to the new daily life

The goal of the Psychological Support Department at Diaplasis Rehabilitation Center is to help the patient adapt to the new reality, while supporting the family and caregivers who are experiencing intense emotional burden. In this way, the rehabilitation program at Diaplasis provides a complete process that embraces the entire supportive environment of the patient.
