Webinar: Introduction to Functional Psychiatry

Functional psychiatry investigates the root causes of illness. Conventional psychiatry is dependant upon the use of medications to reduce the symptoms of mental illness. It assumes there is a neurotransmitter imbalance, and that medication will alleviate symptoms. Conversely, functional psychiatry, identifies and treats the underlying imbalances that are causing the symptoms in the first place.

This webinar will cover:

• The nutritional, digestive, metabolic, and inflammatory abnormalities shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of depression and anxiety.
• The biologic pathways and mechanisms through which these factors influence brain function.
• Evidence-based functional medicine approaches for testing to inform personalised medicine treatment.

Dr. James Greenblatt is a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. He is the author of eight books and has lectured internationally on the scientific evidence for nutritional interventions in psychiatry and mental illness. Through three decades of practice and research, Dr. Greenblatt is a leading contributor to helping physicians and patients understand the role of personalised medicine for mental illness.
