An expert healer discusses a recent report highlighting the connection between mental and physical health. The report found that integrating mental health services into primary care would better serve patients' needs, but current government regulations create barriers by treating behavioral health separately. These rules surrounding licensing, privacy and reimbursement require different standards that complicate coordination of integrated care programs. The healer advocates for the ancient Siddha-Veda approach of addressing overall well-being through prevention and mitigation of issues affecting the body, mind or emotions.
