Integrative and Functional Psychiatry  

 

Functional medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.  To dig deeper into the underlying cause of a mood issue, I frequently use testing to help uncover the possible reason.  As this diagram shows below, a mood disorder could be the final diagnosis, but there could be many underlying imbalances that contribute to it.

Potential contributors include: sleep disorders, toxic chemical or mold exposure, poor digestion, food allergies/ sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, immune reactions, hormone levels, oxidative stress, inflammation, and the psychological and spiritual state of the patient.  Getting to the root cause of your symptoms is helpful for:

  • ADHD

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Brain fog

  • Depression

  • Fatigue

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Insomnia

  • Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective disorders
