Your Brain and Body Are Not Separate.

Your Mental Health Care Shouldn’t Treat Them That Way.

 

Introducing Metabolic Psychiatry & Psychology at Cascade Mind & Body Clinic

Depression. Anxiety. Poor sleep. Emotional eating. Weight gain. Food noise. Low energy. Medication side effects.

They can look like separate problems.

Increasingly, research tells us they are interconnected.

Metabolic psychiatry is an emerging approach to mental health care that considers the relationship between the brain, behavior, sleep, nutrition, metabolic health, medications, hormones, physical activity, and weight.

At Cascade Mind & Body Clinic, we look beyond symptoms alone.

​

We Ask a Bigger Question:

​

What factors may be affecting both your mental and metabolic health?

Your evaluation may explore:

​

• Depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and mood symptoms

• Emotional eating, binge eating, cravings, and food noise

• Sleep and its effects on mood, appetite, and energy

• Stress, motivation, and behavioral barriers to weight loss

• Psychiatric medications that may contribute to weight or metabolic changes

• Psychological readiness for GLP-1 or medical weight-management treatment

• Changes in mood, appetite, body image, or eating behavior during weight loss

• Nutrition, physical activity, and sustainable behavioral change

• Coordination between psychiatric and metabolic treatment

 

When Weight and Mental Health Intersect

​

You may benefit from metabolic psychiatric care if you:

• Have struggled repeatedly to lose or maintain weight

• Eat in response to stress, boredom, anxiety, or emotions

• Experience binge eating, overeating, or persistent food cravings

• Have depression or anxiety that interferes with healthy habits

• Take psychiatric medications and are concerned about weight gain

• Are considering or currently taking a GLP-1 medication

• Have undergone bariatric surgery or are preparing for weight-loss treatment

• Struggle with body image after losing weight

• Want to improve sleep, energy, motivation, and overall well-being

• Feel like traditional mental-health care and traditional weight-loss care have been treating only half of the picture

 

Mental Health Is Health.

​

The brain uses enormous amounts of energy and is influenced by sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, medications, hormones, and metabolic health.

That does not mean every psychiatric illness is caused by metabolism.

It means comprehensive mental-health care should consider the whole person.

At Cascade Mind & Body Clinic, metabolic psychiatry combines evidence-based psychiatric care, behavioral psychology, medication management, psychotherapy, and metabolic-health principles to create an individualized treatment plan.

 

Because sometimes the question isn’t:

 

“Is this physical or psychological?”

​

The better question is:

“How are they affecting each other?”

​

Treat the Brain. Understand the Body. Change the Pattern.
