Integrative Psychiatry
what is integrative psychiatry?
Integrative psychiatry views an individual as a whole consisting of physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, social, and environmental aspects. Therefore, integrative psychiatry is a holistic approach that uses both conventional and complementary therapies in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. The goal of this approach is to allow health and well-being on all levels.
who can it help?
Integrative psychiatry can help those who have had difficulty with traditional psychiatry and who want to take a deeper look at their health and how it impacts their life. Treatment can help those with a variety of conditions such as mood disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse issues, eating disorders, PTSD, OCD, phobias, perimenopause, fibromyalgia.

Dr Nai’m was the pillar in the shift of my management. What I failed to achieve in 20 years with others managing my mental health, Dr has achieved in 1 year. He is God sent & I am truly & totally grateful to God for sending him to me when I was on the verge of giving up. My behaviour affected my entire family. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, compassionate & knows how to manage his patients holistically.
A valuable asset to me. My challenges continue but I strongly believe that Doc will make the fruitful ride easier for me.
