Religious therapy takes place separately for men and women twice a month. A knowledgeable lady comes and delivers a lecture regarding a pre-selected religious topic. After the recitation of the Holy Quran, the lady delivers the lecture following by question answer session and discussions. The participants recite Salam and Durood from time to time. After the whole session a collective prayer is held. Psychologically this therapy is very effective and helps the patients to face the realities of life and to accept them without complaints. A part form this recitation of Holy Quran is played through CD in clear and pleasing tone simultaneously in all the wards daily in the morning.
