b) Review your current medications and supplements, brainstorming strategies for optimizing your regimen.
c) Recommend specific lab work to uncover underlying causes.

Naturopathic Psychiatry distinguishes itself from traditional psychiatry by integrating natural and holistic approaches to mental health alongside conventional psychiatric treatments. While traditional psychiatry primarily employs pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy, Naturopathic Psychiatry places emphasis on lifestyle modifications, nutritional interventions, herbal remedies, and mindfulness techniques to address mental health concerns. It takes a holistic view of the patient, considering the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This approach aims to minimize side effects and focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of mental health issues rather than solely managing symptoms with medication.
 

Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) commonly recommend a range of treatment approaches, which may include supplements, nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle optimization, medications (in specific situations), and Naturopathic Psychiatry.
