Introduction: This study examines medical practices and approaches that assist patients in managing anxiety and reducing stress during the process of adjustment. This, in turn, supports the idea of treating mental problems outside of psychiatric hospitals.Materials and methods: A total of 199 patients who were invited to participate in a verbal interview were included in the report. The study utilised the following scales, in addition to sociodemographic and clinical data. The SATIS scales evaluate the contentment of those utilising mental health treatments. To assess the level of patient satisfaction worldwide, it is crucial to calculate the average of the responses collected for the 12 items on the short scale (questions 1 to 12) which are separated into 3 variables or subscales. Results: The average age of participants was 53.2 years, ranging from 20 to 70 years, with 31.2% falling between the ages of 31 and 40. The length of hospital stay in these mental health facilities ranged from one week to four months, with 40.2% of patients staying in the hospital for three weeks. The number of admissions varied from one to over six times, with 49.2% of the participants being admitted for the first time. Conclusion: This study offers insight into guidelines for Medical intervention in patients who are suffering anxiety. Collaborating with someone who has anxiety, however, necessitates a thorough comprehension of theory and personal insights that can only be acquired through time and experience.
