What are the Benefits of Integrative Psychiatry

Integrative Psychiatry is a safe alternative that will help people with their overall health (improving & preventing), addressing root causes, and providing individualized treatments.

From: Nikki Albert, Brainless Blogger

Resiliency to me is one of the most fundamental of all skills for those of us with chronic pain and chronic illness. We face a lot of adversity in life. Far more than average. And developing the skills to respond better to these is a skill I know we would all benefit from.
