Functional and Integrative Neuropsychiatry

Functional medicine rests on the assumption that the mind and brain are strongly influenced by the function of the body and one’s environment belying root causes of symptoms. Each patient is assessed very thoroughly at the level of gastrointestinal function, immune function (including infection and inflammation), detoxification and biotoxin burden, oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, nutritional status and special nutritional needs, hormonal function, genetic and epigenetic function. This assessment is based on a very careful history, questionnaires, physical exam, and targeted laboratory testing.
