Why Mental Health Therapy Requires a Physical Environment Assessment

In child psychotherapy, a common understanding is that we must address the family as a unit. The understanding is that treating one part of a machine or organism will not necessarily fix the entire operation.
Think of it like a car that is struggling to drive straight. So you fix the wheel, which is misaligned. However, what you miss, is the rear structural imbalance that caused this misalignment in the wheel, to begin with. So the issue reoccurs in time.
We take this one step further at The Child Development Centre SW11 London.
Director Alexander Mulhall has been utilising assessments of clients’ homes and physical environments for five years as a vital assessment component of their mental and physical health.
After experiencing personal loss and health issues that spanned seven years due to physical environment concerns, he studied and applied his newfound understanding of the environment and its impact at a neurobiological level and applied it to the practice.
It is now widely accepted that bacterial, fungal and viral infections play pivotal, if not defining, roles in most major mental illnesses. Our lifestyle and, importantly, our physical environment factor whether we are exposed and likely to contract and develop one of these life-impairing underlying infections.
The Child Development Centre uses several clinical lab tests, alongside home and environmental suggestions, to ensure the discovery and prevention of any potential root cause illness or pathogens affecting the family.
Therapy, in the majority of cases, should not be required for years on end.
Why do some struggle with situations more than others?
In many mental illnesses, whether developmental delay, depression or others, there may often be a complex microbiological component that requires addressing alongside therapeutic support.

MICROBIOTA & MENTAL HEALTH
With 75 indicators, the Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides a thorough metabolic assessment of a patient’s overall health. It offers a precise assessment of the bacteria and yeast in the gut. These microorganisms can cause or worsen behaviour abnormalities, hyperactivity, movement disorders, tiredness, and immunological function when present in abnormally high quantities. Numerous individuals with neurological problems and chronic illnesses frequently emit various aberrant organic acids in their urine. Oral antibiotic usage, high sugar diets, immunological weaknesses, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors, may be the cause of these elevated levels.
The following are some of the various marker categories that this test evaluated:
Yeast and fungi markers. High concentrations of these indicators typically signal a yeast overgrowth or mould toxicity.
Bacterial markers. Dysbiosis may be indicated by high levels. Additionally, several clostridia bacterial indicators are checked in this area.
Metabolites of oxalates. An increased risk of kidney stones is one of the main issues with high oxalates. Spinach is one item that has a lot of oxalates, but there are other factors that can contribute, such as a yeast or mould overgrowth.
Mitochondrial and glycolytic markers. These markers’ high values may be a sign of mitochondrial malfunction.
Metabolites of neurotransmitters. The phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolites are carefully evaluated in this area because they may indicate dopamine and/or norepinephrine abnormalities. Additionally, it assesses the tryptophan metabolites, which may point to serotonin abnormalities, as well as an excess of quinolinic acid, which may point to neuroinflammation.
Metabolites of pyrimidines. The metabolism of folate is related to these metabolites.
Metabolites of ketone and fatty acid oxidation. These indicators have to do with fatty acid oxidation. Heavy levels are typical in people who consume a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates, but extremely high levels can potentially be a sign of diabetes or mitochondrial malfunction.
Nutritional indicators Vitamins B2, B5, B6, B12, biotin, vitamin C, and coenzyme Q10 are among the markers examined under this division.
Detoxifying indicators. These markers include one for ammonia and two for glutathione status.
Methylated amino acids. You want to find low levels of these markers since they are related to inherited metabolic abnormalities.
Antigen Test
We also recommend a food antigen test to assess combined inflammatory response across the body.
