The Bio-Socio-Psychological Way2025-02-03
“Civilization is a progress from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity toward a definite, coherent heterogeneityHappiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.”
—Herbert Spencer
People are multidimensional and unique. In medicine in general, and psychiatry in particular, a reductionistic approach to diagnosis and treatment does not work well. Yet that is what is often incentivized by specialized care and insurance reimbursement.
There is a better way. Take care of biology first, then life falls into place, and the mind will thrive. Bio-socio-psychological. This approach will work much better for people, starting with short-term very visible effects, and it will work well financially for payors and society in the long-term.
With current scientific and technological advances, and with a programmatic bio-socio-psychological approach, medicine can be precise, personalized, participatory, and preventive.
We have done our bit along those lines for mental health. MindX One is comprehensive blood testing that helps with diagnosis and treatment. Life x Mind is a digital assessment and improvement plan for your life and social determinants. And Life x Mind app is a way to take charge of your psychology. Each works well by itself, but we recommend the use all three in a bio-socio-psychological way for fast and lasting transformative effects.
