Learning Objectives:

• Recognize metabolic dysfunction as a root cause of psychiatric symptoms
• Identify the seven key drivers of mitochondrial dysfunction in mental illness
• Apply practical assessment tools for metabolic contributors to psychiatric disorders
• Implement evidence-based interventions targeting mitochondrial function

Clinical Impact: This approach expands therapeutic options by targeting underlying metabolic pathways. Attendees will learn to integrate metabolic screening, lifestyle interventions, and targeted supplementation into psychiatric practice, offering patients comprehensive care that addresses both brain chemistry and cellular energy production.
