Outline of “Jiritsu Shien” (Jiritsu Shien Iryo)

Treatment applicable to "jiritsu shien"
Outpatient psychiatric treatment is medical care without hospitalization for patients with pathological conditions due to mental disorders. Even when the symptoms have largely subsided with considerable improvement, continuous treatment is required to maintain a stable state and to prevent a recurrence. This continued outpatient psychiatric treatment is applicable to "jiritsu shien".
