=============================
Dr. Air, an integrative psychiatrist and lifestyle physician, explains that worsening anxiety is due to biological changes rather than personal weakness. She focuses on how to achieve stress relief and cortisol control through a nervous system reset. This approach helps adults over 40 understand their brain and body's changing responses to stress, promoting holistic healing.

Mental health symptoms can feel confusing, overwhelming, and persistent. Anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and burnout are more common than ever. Many adults struggle with racing thoughts, chronic stress, emotional numbness, brain fog, irritability, low motivation, poor sleep, and nervous system dysregulation. If you are searching for answers about anxiety treatment, depression treatment, ADHD in adults, panic attacks, trauma recovery, mood swings, or why your medication stopped working, this channel is for you.

I’m Dr. Air, an integrative psychiatrist and lifestyle medicine physician. I teach a root cause mental health approach that combines evidence based psychiatry with integrative medicine and lifestyle medicine, without over medication. We talk openly about common psychiatric medications including SSRIs like Zoloft and Lexapro, SNRIs like Effexor and Cymbalta, benzodiazepines like Xanax and Ativan, mood stabilizers like lithium and Lamictal, atypical antipsychotics like Seroquel and Abilify, and ADHD medications like Adderall, Vyvanse, and Ritalin. You will learn how these medications work, their side effects, when they help, why they sometimes stop working, and how to think about medication tapering safely with medical supervision.

Beyond prescriptions, we explore the science of the brain and nervous system. Topics include chronic stress, fight or flight activation, cortisol imbalance, hormone changes, gut brain connection, inflammation and mental health, insulin resistance and mood, mitochondrial health, nutrient deficiencies, sleep optimization, metabolic psychiatry, and natural anxiety relief strategies. If you are looking for integrative psychiatry, holistic mental health treatment, lifestyle medicine for depression, natural ways to calm anxiety, or root cause solutions for adult mental health, you will find clear, practical education here.

This channel is not anti medication. Psychiatric medications can be effective and sometimes life saving. But long term mental wellness often requires addressing biology, lifestyle, and nervous system regulation alongside traditional treatment. My goal is to help you understand your brain, reduce over medication when appropriate, and build real resilience using science based tools.
