Supplementation and Nutritional Deficiency Screening
Height Psychology | Manchester
What We Offer at Height Psychology
When seeking mental health support, you are often presented with the following options: medication, being placed on a waiting list for psychotherapy, or both. While blood tests are typically conducted, metabolic and micronutrient screenings are almost always overlooked, with the occasional exception of magnesium. The literature clearly shows an increased prevalence of specific nutritional deficiencies in nearly all mood-related disorders—yet these deficiencies are seldom assessed. Research also demonstrates the beneficial effects that the right supplements can have when used in the appropriate context. At Height Psychology, we strongly believe in the importance of addressing this issue.
All of our doctors have a thorough understanding of the specific micronutrient deficiencies common in each mental health condition, as well as the evidence base for the most effective supplements in each case. If you undergo psychotherapy with us, guidance on specific supplementation protocols is included, as we believe it should naturally be part of the therapeutic process.
