We start with a real evaluation. If medication is indicated, we explain why and how we will follow it. If it is not the first lever, we say that too. Holistic care is poorer when it pretends every patient should avoid medication—or that every patient must take one.
Supplement conversations cover what you already take, what you are considering, and whether a product is even relevant to your symptoms. We encourage reputable sourcing and discourage stacking powders from social media. Our blog also discusses why combining supplements with psychiatric medication needs a clinician’s eye.
Lifestyle is not a consolation prize. Sleep, movement, alcohol, and stress load change psychiatric outcomes. We will talk about them because they matter, and we will still treat psychiatric illness as illness—not as a failure to journal enough.
