Dr. Massoumi is an excellent person to define “Integrative Psychiatry”. As Chair of the American Psychiatric Association’s Caucus on Complementary & Alternative Medicine, Dr. Massoumi is in an influential and pioneering position. In this dialogue she describes her practice of “Integrative Psychiatry” and suggests how it now be used to describe the ways that Medicine and Psychiatry can expand.
For decades, psychiatry and medicine have been dominated by a bio-chemical approach that relies heavily on the use of drugs. Science is now giving us ample evidence that other forms of diagnostics and care can also be highly effective–in some cases more effective than pharmaceuticals. Dr. Massoumi describes what she prefers to use in her private practice. She also generously gives information about specific products, and books she uses. She also shows how to find an integrative psychiatrist in your area.
Tailoring the right treatment to each unique person is both a skill and an art. It demands education and skills beyond what are usually taught in medical schools. Given research showing the many negative side-effects of some pharmaceuticals it is imperative that both consumers and healthcare providers learn about the full range of effective alternatives to optimize mental health. A well-informed consumer can then choose the healthcare provider that seems most ‘right’ for them. Healthcare providers can also choose to add new trainings to their toolboxes.
