Holistic Approaches in Psychiatry: Bridging Conventional and Alternative Medicine

We can't treat the mind and forget about the body or treat the body and forget about the mind. And that's what we have been doing so far.
Ever thought about how treating the mind and body together could change the game in mental health and addiction recovery? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods dives into this very topic. The discussion spans a range of fascinating subjects, from reducing stigma in psychiatry to blending conventional and alternative medicine practices.
The guest speaker shares details about an innovative program at HackensackUMC Fitness & Wellness Powered by the Giants, which integrates outpatient services to provide a more comprehensive approach to care. They also touch on ways to reduce medication use in psychiatric patients, emphasizing the importance of seeing patients as whole individuals rather than just a set of symptoms. Lifestyle changes, like stress reduction and nutrition, are highlighted as crucial elements in maintaining mental health.
As Mary Woods puts it, 'We can't treat the mind and forget about the body or treat the body and forget about the mind'. Tune in to explore how a holistic approach can make a significant difference in recovery.
