Integrative Medicine looks at a person’s life and social environment, treating these factors as equally important in understanding the root cause of the mental health challenge. Mental health care cannot solely be based on medication:
Integrated mental health care must look first at the root cause of a problem rather than trying to treat the ‘symptoms’ only with medication.
Disruption of the ‘good bacteria in the gut and inflammation of the gut has been linked to causing several mental illnesses including anxiety and depression, which means that treating the gut can alleviate mental health issues.
Nutritional imbalance is well known to cause mental health issues.
This is what we do – through Integrative Medicine, the root cause is identified and treated. A natural approach is selected rather than a pharmaceutical approach.
