Goal Statement

The goal of Treating the Whole Patient: Integrating the Mind-Body Connection into Mental Health Care initiative is to integrate scientific advances and theoretical knowledge into best clinical practice in order to achieve the optimal balance between treatment efficacy and potential risks, while promoting therapeutic collaboration, treatment adherence, and wellness practices

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants should be able to:

  1. Examine the neurobiological and pharmacological correlations to efficacy, tolerability, and symptoms associated with schizophrenia and depression treatments to better individualize management strategies.
  2. Effectively identify, treat, and monitor symptoms of schizophrenia and depression as well as treatment side effects to improve medication adherence and overcome obstacles to successful long-term outcomes.
  3. Incorporate wellness interventions and tools into practice for optimal patient care.
