BBH Training Programs for Medical & Health Professionals

Teaching the biochemistry of mental health

Psychiatry is different from other medical fields in that diagnosis and treatment are based on mental health symptoms, rather than testing the biochemical physiology of the patient. Treatment reviews are based on a change in patient symptoms. This excludes the biochemical and physiological changes associated with mental health symptoms.

Bio Balance Health trains health professionals worldwide, including medical doctors and specialists, health practitioners, and pharmacists, to use specific pathology tests to identify biochemical imbalances commonly associated with mental health symptoms. Addressing these underlying biochemical imbalances can help patients return to optimal health.

Test  →  Assess  →  Treat  → Repeat

The online training courses include self-paced learning modules with pre-recorded lectures and downloadable manuals. Content is supported with scientific references and patient case histories which demonstrate a wide range of clinical presentations that allow you to see and learn, the evaluation and treatment of patients with mental health and behavioural symptoms.  The syllabus is reviewed to meet Australian regulatory standards; please check with your national regulators to ensure compliance outside Australia.

Essential Biochemistry of Mental Health

The online course is an intensive syllabus for Medical Doctors and Health Practitioners, providing a valuable, additional quantitative tool to support their patients. Coordination of objective measures used in conjunction with clinical evaluation processes enables doctors to individualise current mental health treatment options for their patients.  Sequential measurement determines treatment response enabling refinement of patient treatment plans.
