At Urban Flora Psychiatry, we believe mental health is deeply connected to the body, nervous system, and daily environment. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, brain fog, mood changes, and chronic stress are often not isolated conditions, but signals from the body calling for deeper support.
Through these articles, we explore the root causes behind these experiences and share a hybrid approach to mental health care—combining evidence-based psychiatric care, including medication options when appropriate, with integrative, functional, and lifestyle-informed strategies—to support sustainable healing rather than short-term symptom relief.
