Dr. Greenblatt will discuss how genetic tests can be used to identify which medications will be most effective for an individual. He will also explain how to address nutritional deficiencies that prevent optimal health. By addressing nutritional deficiencies, according to Dr. Greenblatt, patients can also eliminate side effects of medications.
“Despite the dozens of antidepressants available, millions of people who seek treatment for depression often fail to find long-lasting relief from their symptoms,” according to Dr. Greenblatt. “An integrative approach can be more effective, as it combines different, complementary forms of treatment.”
