What Is the Background of Integrative Mind-Body Services at Wellbeing Center?
Psychiatric disorders; alcohol, drug dependency issues are extremely common in Lebanon and the Middle East.
Given the pressures in our society, stress and social isolation take a toll on our mental and physical health.
In the United States, over 40 percent of americans currently use some form of alternative health care; and in Lebanon it is on the rise.
Many individuals are reluctant to pursue traditional mental health treatment or may not fully benefit from the traditional approaches.
What Are the Contraindications for Integrative Mind-Body Services?
At Wellbeing Center, we do not treat individuals with active suicidality or psychosis. We believe this requires a more intensive level of psychiatric care which is found in hospitals.
