I discuss why a label may be helpful in terms of accessing research, community and specialists with a specific focus, but isn't particularly helpful for accessing the root cause of our concerns.
Unlike insulin for type I diabetes, mental health conditions aren't caused by one single factor that a proper diagnosis can help us uncover.
Instead, they're complicated phenomena that are likely the results of various factors at play.
My job as a naturopathic doctor is to figure out how these factors work together to help you develop a roadmap to reverse them.
