description In South Asia, general hospital psychiatric units (GHPUs) have developed as an alternative to mental hospitals for the provision of comprehensive mental health services, training and research. GHPUs provide clinical care for all types of patients, including those with severe mental illnesses (SMIs). However, psychosocial rehabilitation is often neglected in GHPUs, partly because of the predominance of the medical model in routine clinical care and a lack of resources. This paper discusses the challenges in the management of SMIs in GHPUs and proposes a model of psychosocial rehabilitation which could be used in such settings.
