NATURISTA
INTEGRATING SCIENCE AND SPIRIT
Medication is not a cure
My original path in medicine was to be a psychiatrist. In my undergraduate psychology and pre-med studies, my research brought me to see that many mental health conditions have associated causes and risks. While psychoactive medication can be essential and stabilizing,.
I realized even then that medications did not always relieve all symptoms, and that for most people, symptoms return when medication is discontinued. I found medication management dissatisfying and became more interested in treating causes and finding long-term solutions.
Studying mental health is what brought me to integrative medicine and naturopathy.
