What’s Integrative Psychiatry?

People are complex entities. It’s not enough to simply label illnesses of the mind. We have to fully understand their causes before we can properly treat them. So our approach encompasses all elements of mind, body and metabolism. It uses food as medicine. And medicine only when it’s needed. When diagnosing and treating conditions we ask what are the underlying causes and we dig deep to find what works for the individual. This may or may not involve drugs. We may recommend a change of diet, or a change of behaviour, lifestyle and environment. But in every case, my colleagues and I firmly believe that this holistic, less narrow approach to mind and body health works so much better. Not only that, we have the testimony of healthy former patients to prove it.
