Psychiatry and Autism

Most likely, the stereotype has developed and spread that autistic individuals are children. However, this condition is lifelong, and the related issues persist after childhood and do not diminish. All individuals with autism suffer from social isolation, which leads to depression, and as adults, they face difficulties in finding employment, as others do not understand their condition, often having to remain a “burden” to their families.

In this regard, maintaining the mental health of individuals with autism plays a special and extremely important role. Timely assistance can reduce anxiety levels in these individuals, teach them how to regulate their emotions, instill self-confidence, and promote social adaptation.

A special role in combating autism is played by services provided by psychiatric clinics, where both individual therapy for autistic individuals and group sessions, essential for developing social skills, can take place. These clinics do not treat autism spectrum disorders as such, but addressing mental health issues helps alleviate several problems at once.

• The quality of life improves: clinics offer autistic individuals the opportunity to feel more independent, and individually tailored therapy helps achieve emotional balance, increase self-confidence, and overall psychological resilience.
• Communication and interaction barriers are overcome: specialized programs teach practical communication strategies and forms of expressing thoughts and feelings in ways that are understandable to others.
• The psychological and emotional burden on family members is reduced: many clinics offer family counseling sessions, explaining to the relatives of autistic individuals how they can enhance their support without sacrificing their own well-being.
• Leading psychiatric institutions offer an interdisciplinary approach that combines therapy, social skills training, and family support to address all aspects of life, prioritizing personalization by developing treatment plans that align with the specific needs and goals of each patient.

The importance of such activities cannot be overstated, but it still plays a supportive role, as it helps reduce the manifestations of autism, though it cannot eliminate the disorder itself. An innovative technology — stem cell transplantation — offers this possibility. This procedure involves introducing the patient’s own stem cells into the body, where they transform into healthy analogs of damaged cells and replace them. As a result, the cause of autism disappears, as the brain begins to function as it was originally intended by nature, fully perceiving reality.

The effectiveness of this approach, which may become the main treatment for autism, has already been confirmed, and thousands of patients can testify that they were able to return to a normal life. Cell therapy is performed by leading clinics worldwide, including the Mardaleishvili Medical Center, which has both top-notch specialists and state-of-the-art equipment.

Don’t settle for half measures — undergo cell therapy, a new breakthrough in the fight against autism!
