Holistic treatment in psychiatry refers to an approach that considers the whole person—their mind, body, and spirit—when diagnosing and treating mental health disorders. Instead of focusing solely on symptoms or medications, holistic psychiatry seeks to address the underlying causes of mental health issues and promotes overall well-being.
