Psychiatry Redefined - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) webinars

Posted about 2 years ago


Dear friends and colleagues,

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children. It is a psychiatric disorder characterized by intrusive, unwanted, and anxiety-inducing thoughts – otherwise known as obsessions. To alleviate anxiety and distress from obsessions, sufferers often engage in specific and repetitive behaviors, known as compulsions. OCD sufferers are aware that their thoughts and behaviors are abnormal, even illogical… but often cannot control them. Consequently, OCD obsessions and compulsions can interfere so significantly in a sufferer’s life as to be disabling.

Join me for an upcoming free webinar where I will discuss OCD and present an integrative and functional medicine model for treatment. I'm offering this webinar on two dates and times:

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Redefined: A Functional & Integrative Medicine Approach
April 10 at 8:00 pm Eastern (4 pm Alaska)
May 4 at 1:00 pm Eastern (9 am Alaska)

In this webinar, I will explore research implicating genetic, neurochemical, psychological, and environmental contributors to OCD, with a special focus on serotonin pathways. I will then present evidence-based nutritional interventions influencing serotonin that have shown to be effective, including Vitamin D, folate, inositol, and 5-hydroxytryptophan. I will also make recommendations for testing and supplementation, equipping attendees with therapeutic tools you can employ in your practice immediately.
