Shari B. Kaplan argues that depression, OCD, and attention deficits persist because treatment ignores root causes. She advocates for addressing neurobiological, spiritual, emotional, physical, relational, and nutritional factors alongside therapy, not just one modality among the 300 available.
When we're struggling with depression, OCD, attention deficits, there are drivers that might not allow the depression to resolve or the OCD to quiet down because we haven't treated the underlying root cause. So when we treat someone for mental health issues, It's a combination of getting the neurobiological aspects taken care of—spiritual, emotional, physical, relational, nutritional. You have to incorporate all that along with the psychological modalities that we use for therapy, like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. There are over 300 modalities of therapy. Find therapists who understand how to build a comprehensive treatment program that is both medical, spiritual, psychological, and physical.
