It strives to reduce reliance on medications whenever possible, focusing on a balanced treatment plan that weighs both the benefits and potential risks of medication. This approach combines conventional psychiatric care with complementary therapies, such as nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and other mind-body practices.
