How we can help

People arrive here knowing roughly one of three things: that they need a doctor, that they need to talk to someone, or that somebody at home has become too unwell to look after.

Everything available at Manas

Inpatient

Nursing home

Admission for schizophrenia, mania, severe depression and de-addiction. Typically 15–20 days.

Investigations

EEG, ECG & testing

Brain and heart tracings, and standardised psychological assessment. What each one is for.

Talking therapy

Counselling

Individual, group, family, marital and child — with counsellors who see the same person over time.

Beyond treatment

Support groups

Phoenix, Protsahan, Chintan and the TEA group. Who each is for.

Manodaya Trust, Dombivli

Treatment is only half of it.

Alongside the clinic, Manodaya Trust works in the field of mental health across Dombivli — running parents’ schools, awareness work, stress-management sessions and peer groups, and giving people who have come through mental illness a public platform rather than a private one.

In its silver-jubilee year the trust created the Unnat Manas Sanman Puraskar, an award felicitating people living with or recovering from brain-and-mind disorders, and those working for them.

Manas Chitra

146 films, talks and conversations — mostly in Marathi.

Dr. Adwait Padhye has spent years explaining mental illness in public, in the language the people around him speak. Long conversations, short explainers, interviews and films — all of it free to watch.

Speak to us

Appointments are by telephone. If you are not sure whether this is the right place to bring someone, ring and ask — that is a reasonable question and we would rather you asked it.
