Psychiatry Redefined is excited to announce the launch of the Finally Calm: Functional & Integrative Medicine for the Treatment of OCD Training with James Greenblatt, MD — a self-paced, certified Intensive training to equip mental health providers and therapists with scientific, evidence-based tools that can be used immediately with your patients exhibiting symptoms of OCD. This training illuminates a path towards real, sustained recovery, and offers hands-on support to help you treat complex cases of OCD. Discover new functional interventions to move your patients from finding calm, to finally calm.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects 1 in 40 people (2.3% of the population), impacting individuals universally. OCD’s effects can be profound, hindering productivity and fulfillment in life. Although traditional approaches to OCD, primarily centered around psychotherapy and medications, provide benefits to many patients, there is growing scientific and evidence-based research that supports that OCD often arises from discrete biological factors such as genetics, inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and more significantly, serotonergic dysfunction.
PROGRAM FORMAT: Self-paced and online with five live, guided lectures
LIVE LECTURE DATES: November 12, 19 & 26, December 3 & 10
THIS TRAINING IS IDEAL FOR: Psychiatrists and clinicians (MD/DO), nurses and nurse practitioners, therapists, physicians and physician assistants, naturopathic physicians, dietitians, nutritionists, and other health and mental health clinicians. This program is designed as a professional training, but patients and families are welcome to enroll and learn.
ACCREDITATION: 5.0 CME AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
ENROLLMENT FEE: Early Bird rate $499
