Therapy in Punjab
In Faisalabad, therapy can start online from home, and the public option for psychiatric care is the psychiatry department at Allied Hospital, the teaching hospital of Faisalabad Medical University. We could not find a dedicated public psychiatric hospital in the city. In an emergency, call Rescue 1122 or police 15.
Overview
Public psychiatric care in Faisalabad is based at Allied Hospital on Jail Road, the teaching hospital of Faisalabad Medical University. Punjab’s specialist public psychiatric hospital, the Punjab Institute of Mental Health, is in Lahore.
Faisalabad district is overwhelmingly Punjabi-speaking. In the 2023 census, about 94 percent of people gave Punjabi as their mother tongue and around 4.5 percent gave Urdu. Many people speak Urdu comfortably, but some find it easier to describe feelings in Punjabi, so ask any therapist which languages they use.
Online therapy can help close the gap when local options are limited or waiting lists are long. It works best for talking therapy, while medication, diagnosis or urgent care still need a doctor or hospital. Safe Healing connects adults 18 and over with a therapist for private Google Meet sessions in Urdu or English.
