The Psychiatric Nutritional Protocol: Evidence-Based Herbal and Nutritional Treatments for Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are traditionally managed with pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, yet many patients experience refractory symptoms or intolerable drug side effects. Evidence-based nutritional psychiatry has revealed that target amino acids, micronutrients, and standardized herbal extracts modulate neurotransmission, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, and systemic inflammation. Evidence-Based Herbal and Nutritional Treatments for Anxiety in Psychiatric Disorders is the definitive clinical reference on complementary mental health therapies.
