Many persons with mental illness will experience disability which becomes a barrier to regular follow-up. The needs of severely disabled people are often neglected or not met adequately by mental health professionals, family, and the community. They do not understand what is happening in the community and the home environment. Therefore, the current case study made an effort to know the actual situation of mentally disabled people in their home environment and evaluated psychiatric rehabilitation needs.
