Seminar Objectives include:

• Contrast drug treatments (disease suppression) and drug free nutritional treatments (life enhancement) goals and objectives, and define appropriate roles for both in the treatment of mental disorders.

• Understand the true meaning of the DSM IV definitions of mental disorders as heterogeneous (many causalities).

• Compare the four main kinds of interventions utilized by both Conventional and Non-conventional and distinguish subspecialties in each area and their roles.

• Differentiate the four kinds of molecular interventions (nutritional/detoxification, bio-identical hormones, herbal and pharmaceutical) and critique these based on safety, efficacy, cost and difficulty of administration for various acute and chronic disorders.

• Contrast Orthomolecular approach (nutritional restoration, detoxification, bio-identical hormone replacement approach) with pharmacological approach and discuss how both approaches can be combined to provide the best care.
• Solve once and for all the media squabble between Tom Cruise and Brooke Shields. Who is right, who is wrong, or are they both partly wrong and both partly right? (That should be an interesting topic!)

Dr. Gant is best known for his work in complementary/alternative (CAM), integrative and [tag]orthomolecular medicine[/tag] approaches to the treatment of mental disorders. He received his BS in chemistry from Hampden-Sydney College, his medical degree from the University of Virginia Medical School and his PhD in psychology from Columbia Pacific University. Dr. Gant pioneered many of the nutritional and detoxification treatments for substance use and other mental disorders while serving as the medical director of Tully Hill Hospital, as medical consultant at Syracuse Behavioral Healthcare and as a psychiatric consultant at numerous substance abuse and mental health clinics throughout Central New York. These protocols are currently being duplicated around the country by many healthcare practitioners and they promise to improve treatment outcomes and bring authentic healing to those suffering from mental disorders. Dr. Gant currently practices at the National Integrated Health Associates. (Holistic and Integrative Medicine)
