Patients are increasingly turning to integrative approaches for their healthcare. Scientific studies supporting these interventions have risen in parallel.  Given the rising popular and scientific interest, C-L psychiatrists should familiarize themselves with integrative approaches that have scientific support for promoting health.  It is also important for C-L psychiatrists to develop a working knowledge of potentially harmful drug interactions between herbs/supplements and conventional medications.

The mission of the Integrative Medicine (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) SIG is to bring together C-L psychiatrists and other clinicians interested in advancing clinical care, education, and research on integrative approaches to promoting health and wellness.  These include mind-body medicine (e.g., mindfulness, biofeedback), diet and nutrition interventions (e.g., broader dietary patterns, macronutrients, and micronutrients), and herbs and supplements.
