Our Operations

The Psychosis Clinic B operates for individuals over 18 years old. The clinic has a special assignment regarding specialist psychiatric assessment, treatment, care, and rehabilitation for patients with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like conditions. All patients are assigned a responsible physician and a coordinator (case manager). The clinic's working methods are based on the National Guidelines from the National Board of Health and Welfare for care and support in schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like conditions, with the aim that the patient, with support and help, can live as independently as possible. Patients at the clinic are offered, among other things, IMR (Illness Management and Recovery), interventions according to the psychiatric rehabilitation care program, social skills training, VOSS (care and support coordination), and health-promoting measures.

The work is team-based. Each team consists of psychologists, specialist physicians, specialist nurses in psychiatric care, nurses, caregivers, occupational therapists, and social workers. We collaborate with other care providers within the municipality and county, and we also offer support to relatives.
