Stress & Health Assessment

Holistic therapy attempts to address causes rather than suppress symptoms. Causes of issues such as depression, fatigue or ADHD can be multiple. So the first stage of the process is to accurately identify causal factors.

Besides the pattern of symptoms, this assessment needs to tbe based on some form of objective testing. This section of the site describes some of the innovative and powerful tools used by York Mind-Body Health.

Whatever the problem, causes must be considered at different levels:

• biochemical - e.g. nutrient deficiency or toxicity
• organic - e.g. viral infection or imbalanced gut flora
• functional - the body's control systems are not responding adaptively to stresses and challenges
• personal - experiences such as trauma (physical or psychological) or lack of opportunity to develop skills and resources.
