Mental Health.

A holistic approach to thiis takes into account all aspects of the individual, considering not only the diagnosis and symptoms, but emotional and social factors as well. By integrating holistic methods into the overall treatment plan a more comprehensive approach to healing will improve the clinical outcome. This is due to the intrinsic and inseparable connection between the mind and the body.

Some of the benefits of a holistic approach to mental health and wellness include:

  • All systems are involved in treating the mental health disorder, including:

    • Medical

    • Psychiatric

    • Spiritual

    • Social

    • Psychiatric

    • Behavioral

    • Lifestyle

  • Holistic measures help the mind become a tool for healing. By training the mind to reshape a given situation or to react differently to a triggering stimulus it can be just as effective in easing symptoms as psychotropic drugs.

  • Making core shifts in diet and physical activity can be highly effective in reducing, anxiety, mood swings, and can improve sleep quality.

  • Regulating stress through use of holistic therapies is integral to progressing along the path to wellness, as stress is a trigger for activating the mental health disorder.
