What is Mental Health?

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected.

Mental Health Conditions

Mental illnesses are disorders which range from mild to severe, which adversely affect a person's function. Around 30% of South Africans are estimated to experience mental illness in their lifetime.

Mental illness demands urgent attention, as stigma and a lack of access remain the road blocks to care, treatment and support which is necessary to ensure dignity and quality of life for affected individuals./p>

What patients say

I had a problem with alcohol and cannabis and I never believed I could stay sober, yet I had been to multiple rehabs. The doctor (Dr Kaaka) helped me to get back on my feet with medication which I so needed. She motivated me to want a different life. My lifestyle changed because I was able to see myself in someone's eyes, and Dr Kaaka handled my issues with kindness and warmth...

K, 47 years old

Before seeing Dr Kaaka, I was struggling with depression and anxiety and I was also suicidal. She prescribed medication and helped me to feel better. I was referred by a Psychiatrist to the Doctor and it changed my life. My life has improved, I am a good husband now. I have become an advocate for mental health. I can speak to people who look down on those with mental issues with a lot of confidence...

K, 46 years old

My son has schizophrenia and was treated at multiple facilities satisfactorily, but he has never been this well... He is so well now and I thank Dr Kaaka for how she has included the family in my son's care. It has made a huge difference.
