Venture beyond traditional psychiatry into the integrative approach of Harmonica Psychiatry with Dr. Eka Oyeka, who's redefining mental health care in McKinney, Texas. Dr. Oyeka shatters the common misconception that psychiatry is "just about pills," revealing how her clinic combines medication management with holistic treatments including nutrition therapy, Spravato for treatment-resistant depression, and their innovative Somadome meditation pod for stress relief.
Behind Dr. Oyeka's compassionate approach lies a deeply personal story—her journey as a mother to a son with autism inspired her mission to destigmatize mental health care. Coming from a family of medical professionals, she saw an opportunity to create something truly unique: a practice that sees "the person behind the symptoms." Whether treating children, adults, or geriatric patients, her philosophy remains consistent: mental health is not one-size-fits-all, and neither should treatment be.
Perhaps most fascinating is Dr. Oyeka's revelation about the unexpected connections between physical and mental health. She explains how something as simple as vitamin D deficiency can manifest as depression symptoms, highlighting the importance of comprehensive testing and treatment. For listeners wondering when to seek psychiatric help versus counseling, Dr. Oyeka offers practical guidance, emphasizing that healing is a partnership requiring personalized care. After meeting this dedicated physician—who somehow balances her innovative practice with raising seven children—you'll understand why patients feel "seen and supported" at Harmonica Psychiatry.
