Why Choose an Integrative Psychiatrist?
Unlike traditional psychiatry that may focus solely on symptoms, an integrative psychiatrist like Dr. Deshpande:
-
Explores underlying causes (e.g., nutritional deficiencies, trauma, sleep disorders)
-
Considers lifestyle, environment, and social factors
-
Incorporates evidence-based natural therapies alongside medication when needed
-
Works collaboratively with other health professionals (e.g., psychologists, nutritionists)
This means you receive care that is not only medically sound but also aligned with your values and wellbeing goals.
