Deep sleep therapy was used to treat some psychiatric patients. Patients were given psychiatric drugs to induce prolonged sleep which rendered them unconscious for a period of a few days to weeks.
Psychiatric nurses provide care and support to patients with mental health issues by assessing their needs, administering medication, and providing therapy. They work closely with psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals to develop treatment plans and ensure the well-being of their patients. Psychiatric nurses also educate patients and their families about mental health conditions and help them navigate resources for ongoing support.
