HIV Psychiatry

HIV Psychiatry, within Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, focuses on the mental health and emotional well-being of individuals living with HIV. It addresses the psychological challenges that may arise from an HIV diagnosis, such as anxiety, depression, and stigma. Psychiatrists work alongside other healthcare professionals to provide support, treatment, and care strategies tailored to the needs of HIV patients. This approach helps improve their overall quality of life by integrating mental health support with medical treatment, ensuring that both emotional and physical health are prioritized in their care plan.
