• Exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, sound sleep: Most practitioners would agree that living well can mitigate the impact of mental disorders.
• Yet many are unprepared to address lifestyle factors in their care of patients.
• Lifestyle Psychiatry seeks to instill confidence by collating and analyzing the impressive emerging body of evidence that supports the efficacy of healthy lifestyle practices -both as the primary intervention and in conjunction with traditional treatments such as psychopharmacology or psychotherapy -in preventing and managing psychiatric disorders.
• This volume examines the impact of lifestyle interventions -from exercise, yoga, and tai chi to mindfulness and meditation, diet and nutrition, and sleep management -on psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction.
• Readers can readily find data to support the use of specific lifestyle interventions for a patient presenting with a specific disorder.
• Detailed descriptions of the mechanisms of each lifestyle intervention also prepare practitioners to educate their patients on the specific neurobiological and psychological effects of these interventions to support their recovery.
• With chapters that focus on developing a robust therapeutic alliance and inspiring patients to assume responsibility for their own well-being, this guide provides a framework for lasting, sustainable lifestyle changes.
• Additionally, the book discusses the impact of the provider's lifestyle on clinical behavior and the implications of lifestyle medicine and psychiatry for health care systems and population health, offering a broader examination of the important role this new field can play in leading a sophisticated, holistic approach to optimizing wellness.
