Dr. Ackerley will discuss why our current approaches to depression and anxiety are failing our patients. She will present how environmental stressors and biotoxins can trigger neuroinflammation and produce the symptoms found in depression and anxiety and other neuropsychiatric illnesses. She provides alternate approaches for treatment and guidance for implementing these approaches into the care you provide.
