Abstract
During the stay at the psychiatric hospital patients are on medication and are involved in rehabilitation program. However, individuals with psychiatric disorders face stigma, discrimination and unemployment when they are discharged from hospital. Thus, reintegration of psychiatric patient becomes important for the treating team. Thus, the study aimed at rehabilitating and reintegrating an unidentified individual diagnosed with psychiatric disorder admitted to psychiatric hospital. As a result with the help of treating team and local resources (police, village leader) rehabilitation was accomplished in community. Hence, regular attempt and positive attitude of helping hands can reduce reintegration challenges for persons with mental illness.
