Biomolecular restoration: a new approach to treating personality disorders

The World Health Organization carries out annual monitoring of the mental health of Europeans. According to these surveys, this part of the population has serious problems: around 30% of adults (aged 18–65) have experienced a major personality disorder in the past year. The figures are alarming, and it is clear to everyone that the situation in the rest of the world is not much better.

The list of disorders any adult may face now numbers around ten. Anxiety disorders, depression and psychological trauma are just some of those that are easy to detect. A universal list is, of course, simply impossible to compile: scientists acknowledge that the boundaries can be very blurred, so the most pronounced cases are the easiest to record. Nevertheless, many people genuinely do not realise that they need professional help. Often a natural fear of public opinion holds a person back. Many fear judgement, and so most often choose the classic approach of traditional clinics, where treatment is based on therapeutic conversations. However, 80% of patients relapse soon after the course. This happens because the therapy was incomplete. “Talking on the couch” certainly remains mainstream to this day, but today the biomolecular approach is coming to the fore.

A neural revolution

Specialists at the Swiss clinic Kusnacht Practice have proposed a new method for identifying the causes of disorders and addictions: correcting biochemical and neurochemical imbalances and treating the underlying psychological disorders, anxiety states and phobias.

Biochemical processes determine our well-being, thoughts, feelings and emotions. They depend directly on millions of highly complex processes, including the interactions of neurotransmitters and hormones. Disturbances of the body’s chemical processes impair well-being and provoke chronic illnesses and a wide range of personality disorders: addictions, depression, anxiety states and phobias.

Treatment begins with comprehensive laboratory tests, including blood and DNA analysis. On this basis a profile of the body’s biochemical processes is created. It is as unique to each person as their fingerprints. A computer then precisely calculates the person’s daily requirement for micronutrients. This innovative method makes it possible to understand at the molecular level what the body itself needs to restore its normal functioning, and which substances or hormones it is not producing in sufficient quantities.

This approach increases the chances of complete freedom from a number of disorders. It is not a panacea, of course, but it makes it possible to understand the causes and effects of the problems that harm the client’s physical and emotional health.
