Mental health is affected from many avenues. The approach to understanding and treatment will involve addressing multiple factors that contribute to the cause and exacerbation of symptoms. Stress, as a main trigger to all mental illness, will be addressed and management techniques will constantly evolve to become optimal and individualized. Sleep, microbiome health, hormone balance, brain health, inflammation and other processes that contribute to the exacerbation of symptoms, will be addressed and improved upon.
Past trauma, current difficult circumstances and coping mechanisms are often main obstacles to healing. Although naturopathic medicine does address them and will offer tremendous emotional support, these concerns are often treated more deeply with the help of a therapist on a mental health team. Having a psychiatrist on the team is also beneficial, to create a steady baseline and to put out fires. Adding a naturopathic doctor to a mental health team is crucial to overcoming the suffering of mental illness. Let Thyme guide you on the way to better mental health and cognition.
