Dr Laura Roberts is joined by Professor Douglas Noordsy, M.D., formerly of the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, to discuss his book Lifestyle Psychiatry (2019) which examines the impact of lifestyle interventions -from exercise, yoga, and tai chi to mindfulness and meditation, diet and nutrition, and sleep management- on psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction. With chapters that focus on developing a robust therapeutic alliance and inspiring patients to assume responsibility for their own well-being, Dr. Noordsy’s book provides a framework for lasting, sustainable lifestyle changes.
