While naturopathic doctors certainly recognize the importance of diagnosis, we are committed to looking beyond the label of a disease, and identifying its causal mechanisms. So, when it comes to mental or physical health, my goal is to treat the patient - not the just the DSM or the ICD10 code. This means engaging in a thorough and individualized assessment of the psychological, biochemical, and environmental factors that interact to produce emotional and bodily suffering. As the set of causes for each person's symptoms is unique, so must be the treatment.
