Natural and Integrative Care for Mental Health Conditions

Learn about the use of naturopathic and functional medicine for mental health. Challenges with mood and poor mental health are major reasons patients visit their medical doctors. While drugs can be lifesaving in certain circumstances, often, patients are given drugs that not only do not address the underlying concerns but also contribute to the further worsening of these conditions in the long run. In this talk, Dr. Bongiorno will briefly review the overall naturopathic view and treatment for these mental health conditions. He will underscore methods to look for the underlying causes of mental health challenges and lab tests most valuable to aid this process. He will focus on the use of specific lifestyles, foods, and modalities that heal - while giving scientific research evidence and clinical experience for his recommendations.
