One Weekend - Two Medical Seminars for Health Professionals

Integrative Medicinefor the Treatment of Depressionand Bipolar DisorderAn Orthomolecular Approach

Depression is a debilitating condition in which one in three people with depression have residual symptoms with the standard antidepressant therapy. Treatment for Bipolar Disorder is equally dismaying, as the success rate for lithium treatment remains between 40-50%.

Currently, nutritional treatment is rarely considered despite published studies suggesting its importance in treatment. Nutrition – in the form of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids – is known to influence neurotransmitter deficiencies and neurotransmitter synthesis.

"Orthomolecular Medicine is an individualized, evidence-based medical approach for preventing and treating disease by providing optimal amounts of substances that are natural to the body including vitamins, minerals, essential fats and amino acids."
