​Traditional Psychiatry is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions using prescription medications. This form of treatment does not utilize specialized laboratory testing as part of the assessment process and does not address functional health concerns such as gut health, adrenal health, or mitochondrial function. This is a great option for individuals who are already working with a functional medicine practitioner for their general health but would  like to have their psychiatric medications managed by a psychiatrist who is familiar with functional medicine concepts.
