Abstract

Integrative medicine provides an effective, affordable, and safe adjunct to contemporary approaches to the maintenance of mental health and the treatment of mental illness. Rather than relying on any single modality or theoretical model, integrative mental healthcare (IMH) incorporates allopathic, psychological, and complementary and alternative approaches tailored to each person's particular needs. This requires an interdisciplinary approach that empowers patients and provides them with knowledge and specific skills intended to support their inherent capacity for resilience.
