Complex Illness and Anxiety or OCD

The mechanisms involved with many complex and chronic illnesses cause downstream and peripheral damage to systems like our immune system, neurochemistry, detoxification, and nutrient metabolism. Imbalance in these systems can trigger anxiety and worsen OCD. Managing the whole person and viewing the entire case yields much better results than just supressing anxiety symptoms.

Complex Cases that have a large amount of history, labs, data, and records rarely receive a comprehensive evaluation that brings all of the puzzle pieces together. Most practices and physicians simply do not have the time or resources to do the research and review that complex cases need. Having a teammate that can bring the pieces together and ensure a synergistic mental health plan is invaluable.

Genetic testing is routinely used to add a deeper level of understanding to a persons individual needs and predispositions.

Complex conditions that an in-depth biochemical and genetic perspective have been used to individualize treatment:

• • • Chronic Conditions
    • Chronic Fatigue (CFS/ME)
    • Mast Cell Disorders and Mastocytosis
    • Histamine Intolerance
    • Lyme Disease (as a supportive role)
    • Mental Health Conditions
    • Sleep Problems or Insomnia
    • Cancer (as a supportive role)
    • Environmental Exposures (Solvents, Chemical Exposures, Mold, etc)
    • Neurological Conditions
    • Neurological Autoimmune Conditions (PANDAS, PANS, Autoimmune Encephalitis)
    • Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction and POTS
    • Behavioral and Learning Challenges
    • Conditions with an unknown cause.
