Mental health clinic & psychiatrist in Islamabad
SCTI treats loved ones suffering from mental health problems such as depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, trauma and other mental vulnerabilities. Our leading consultant psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists help patients overcome their problems.
Conditions we treat
Help for the mind is real medicine.
Mental illness is treatable. The earlier a person gets a proper assessment, the better the chances of recovery.
Anxiety
Constant worry, fear or panic that is hard to control, often with restlessness, a racing heart and trouble sleeping.
Schizophrenia
A serious illness that can cause hallucinations, false beliefs and confused thinking. It needs specialist psychiatric care and regular medication.
Trauma
Lasting distress after a frightening or painful event, such as flashbacks, nightmares, fear and avoiding reminders of what happened.
Addiction with mental illness
Drug or alcohol use often comes with depression or anxiety. We treat both together through our addiction treatment services.
Other mental vulnerabilities
Stress, relationship problems, behavioural issues and other concerns can also be assessed by our psychiatrists and psychologists.

View all FAQsWhat exactly is inpatient treatment?
The SCTI inpatient treatment program provides care 24 hours a day. Sometimes it is better to be taken out of your home environment in order to focus on recovery. After an extensive evaluation, a group of therapists, counsellors and psychologists comes up with a unique, personalised treatment plan. The plan is based on the patient’s diagnoses, interests and personality, and usually consists of group meetings and 12-step programs along with specific therapies such as expressive arts or equine therapy.
Should my family be involved in my treatment?
Family involvement is crucial for the recovery process. Most treatment facilities have a set period of time for the family to visit and take part in workshops or lectures. Many times, addiction stems from issues within the family, so it’s essential to understand family dynamics and provide a space for the family to communicate and heal. Not only does this heal the patient, it brings freedom and peace to the rest of the family.
How does SCTI manage doctors during an emergency?
Doctors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at Safe Care Trust International, so in a medical emergency we can shift the patient to PIMS, Shifa International, Poly Clinic or another private hospital.
