Holistic Healing Fund - The Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care

The Holistic Healing Fund is  long-term naturalistic study to assess psychiatric and medical symptoms, quality of life and treatment costs for patients who fail to respond to conventional treatment. This is the first long-term study assessing the medical and economic effectiveness of the Disease-Centered Model (DCM) and the Patient-Centered Approach (PCA). It will assist in reducing the cost of treatment, improving the outcome and quality of life for patients suffering from Anxiety, Depression and Bipolar Disorders who failed to respond to conventional treatments. This is the first long-term study assessing the medical and economic effectiveness of two different treatment models, focusing on those suffering from Anxiety, Depression and Bipolar Disorders who fail to respond to conventional treatments. 

HThe Person-Centered Approach (PCA) has been used for centuries. It helps restore health by applying treatments specific to the individual’s imbalances. Treatments are usually low cost, have few if any side effects and require the person’s active participation. Medications are rarely part of a long-term solution but can be applied for a short time. The PCA approach strives to improve long-term health, thus alleviating symptoms and decreasing the cost of treatment. Our study examines how applying the DCM or PCA treatment model and philosophy affects long-term medical, psychiatric and quality of life outcomes and treatment costs.
