Complementary and integrative treatments I

Complementary and integrative modalities are widely used for a variety of conditions, including psychiatric disorders (Freeman, 2009). Werneke and colleagues (2006) noted that up to 57 percent of psychiatric patients have used integrative therapies to treat depression and anxiety. This chapter describes the efficacy of omega-3s, SAM-e, and exercise. The other complementary and integrative modalities are described in Chapter 15.
