Not all mental disorder treatments require psychotherapy, counseling, hospital care, and medicine prescription. Some deserve to be treated uniquely and differently.
There is a not so common and effective method called integrative psychiatry. Integrative psychiatry takes a holistic approach, which means the psychiatrists treat the mental disorder as a whole part of the patient not separately. The approach views the patient’s disorder as an interconnected part of the symptoms and treats them together.
Moreover, integrative psychiatry involves the contemporary method of medicine prescription and a more personalized approach such as:
- Massage
- Nutrition based treatment
- Exercise, body and mind relaxation
- Guided Imagery
Who Can Benefit From Integrative Psychiatry?
Generally, anyone who wants better mental health can benefit from this treatment. As the name implies, it integrates the mind with the body for health improvement. Specifically, people with mild mental health disorders like:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Perimenopause syndrome
- Phobias
can benefit as well, while others with chronic mental disorders should go for more rigorous treatment.
