Due to the complexity and the individual characteristics of psychological disorders, the idea of treating them with a single drug or with psychotherapy only has proven to be unsuccessful.

The modern approach to psychological disorders recommends the integration of the pharmacological therapy with a psychological therapy calibrated on the specific disorder characteristics and with some stimulation techniques.

The integration of different therapeutic resources has so far proven to be the most efficacious way to treat any kind of psychological disorders, from its appearance to the maintenance of well-being and to treatment-resistant cases.
