Integrative approaches recognize that mental health cannot be reduced to any single dimension — neurobiological, psychological, relational, or spiritual — and that the most effective care addresses the person as a whole system. Nutrition, exercise, sleep, social connection, meaning, and contemplative practice are not adjuncts to treatment but foundational variables that determine the baseline from which any intervention operates. The Sutras understood this as the interdependence of the gross and subtle bodies: you cannot sustainably address one without attending to the other.
