What is Integrative Psychiatry?

 

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

Carl Gustav Jung

 

Integrative psychiatry is an approach to mental health that not only focuses on disease but also emphasizes wellness.

It aims not only to explore biological and psychological aspects of illness but also to identify spiritual components as well.

It embraces the reductionism of our current scientific understanding of disease while also incorporating thousand-year-old concepts from ancient traditions that prioritize an understanding of vitalism.

It combines traditional treatments like medication and psychotherapy with complementary approaches like yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition and lifestyle modifications.
