About SIMHAR

A leading psychiatric and de-addiction centre dedicated to research, rehabilitation and innovation in mental health care.

A home away from home

Shalom Institute of Mental Health and Research

SIMHAR specialises in the treatment and rehabilitation of people facing mental health challenges, behavioural disorders, addiction and stress.

We treat schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD and depression; run de-addiction programmes for alcohol and drugs; and care for children with behavioural problems and elderly patients who need long-term psychiatric care.

As the largest private psychiatric hospital in Kerala, SIMHAR cares for up to 250 inpatients on a 5-acre campus. Round-the-clock nursing means families don’t need to stay as bystanders. SIMHAR is affiliated with CMAI and licensed by the State Mental Health Authority of Kerala.
