Unlike conventional psychiatry, Integrative Psychiatry attempts to find the root cause of a person’s problems and work towards achieving overall mental health and balance.
Unfortunately, conventional psychiatry has become a linear, medication-focused model with little to offer the millions of people suffering from mental illness. The conventional psychiatry model does not address the specific nutrient, genetic or even “spirit” requirements of a person, leaving them in a non-recovery limbo state.
Unlike conventional psychiatry, Integrative Psychiatry, uses a collaborative, patient-centered, mind-body-spirit approach that combines the science of modern medicine with the wisdom of ancient and traditional forms of medicine from around the world.
Integrative Psychiatry recognizes not just the mind-body connection, but also the body-mind influence. It attempts to find and address the root cause of a person’s symptoms and work together to achieve overall mental health and balance. Rather than just addressing the symptoms of mental illness, Integrative Psychiatry uses a broad scope of intervention. Diet, nutrition, lifestyle, health of the gut, hormones, state of the immune system, genetics and relationships in life all become important considerations for analysis and intervention.
