Please consider attending our upcoming virtual functional medicine conference for mental health care on June 22-23. We have invited a group of fascinating speakers who will be discussing their expertise on nutritional lithium, PANS/PANDAS, deprescribing antidepressants, genetic testing, the ketogenic diet in psychiatry, and more. It's a great opportunity to be united with like-minded clinicians and expand your functional medicine knowledge base and tool kit. I hope you can join us.

In health,
Dr. James Greenblatt

The Courage to Care

In January 2024, Dr. MacDonald wrote an editorial making her case for the normalization of expanded telehealth, explaining the lawsuit she’s filed against the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners:

“In 2018 it became legal for sports-team doctors to practice medicine during out-of-state away games. If we can make a law that allows treatment across state lines for a National Football League player, can’t we consider it for a child with a brain tumor?”

Embracing an integrative and functional medicine approach to psychiatry requires a special kind of courage. Much like Dr. MacDonald, you—and this community of mental health providers—are courageous.

The Power of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Fish oil has well-documented benefits for reducing the risk of death from numerous causes. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil also support mental health and brain function, decreasing symptoms of depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and dementia. Supplementing a quality fish oil is well worth considering for patients looking for a simple approach to improve their health.

Case Studies in Functional Psychiatry

Case Study: Mack, an 18-Year-Old Male with Sudden Onset Psychosis, Depression, and Suicidal Ideation

Mack was college student who enjoyed sports and was doing well in his classes. He was socially engaged with no previous history of mental illness. Yet two months prior, things rapidly changed when he awoke with feelings of being persecuted and delusions about being under attack.

He tested positive for Lyme disease and was started on doxycycline. With the complexity of the case, the family doctor referred Mack for a more thorough integrative medicine workup to help identify other potential causes or underlying factors contributing to his symptoms.
