Now, the fun part! How do we put all of these ideas together in clinical practice? One thing is clear-with integrative or functional medicine, each case is different. Some features of Integrative Psychiatry include the following:
• Search for the root cause • Find out a person’s story • Search for sources of inammation • Investigate factors, and put together a timeline of events that led up to the current state • Explore diet, nutrients, lifestyle, stress, beliefs, gastrointestinal (GI) health, hormones,
genetics, and toxins
As you will see from the case studies that follow, there are a variety of different approaches to healing available when one incorporates Integrative Psychiatry into the paradigm.
