Conventional medicine leaves many patients looking for answers and relief. Even after multiple prescriptions, several tests, and many of those 8–10 minute doctor visits, someone suffering an ailment can be left asking themselves, “Why don’t I feel good?”

If a patient complains long enough, they may receive a psychiatrist referral from their doctor.
