Bio Balance Health trains doctors in assessing mental health symptoms and treatment response, using biomarkers. This significantly improves the capabilities of current psychiatric care. The use of conventional pathology tests is not common in the management of mental health. Yet, a very simple search shows there is extensive research between mental health and essential nutrients. Investigation of the need for these essential nutrients is not common practice in treatment of mental health symptoms.
