Advantages of Ballet as a Non-Pharmacological Approach to Mental Health

I highlight advantages of #dancing #ballet for #mentalhealth.
One advantage of ballet over pharmacological psychotropic medications is the lack of tolerance. While treatment with a medication may result in loss of efficacy over time due to adaptation of the organism, dancing ballet continues to have effects, and even is more effective with time.

While neuroscience and psychiatry have made great advances in the past years in the understanding, diagnosis, and development of treatments for mental disorders, statistics show that the global incidence of many psychiatric disorders, including #depression, bipolar disorder, #anxiety, substance use disorder, #autism, and #Alzheimers disease, has significantly increased since 1990. Therefore, it seems the existing treatments are not effective in decreasing the incidence of psychiatric disorders, and additional treatments are needed.

Ballet, by uniting #mind, #body, and #spirit, is a fun, effective non-pharmacological approach, readily available to manage stress, and prevent and treat many psychiatric disorders. It is positive psychiatry, mind-body medicine that is not expensive and easily accessible to many people.

My ballet program is safe, beginner-friendly, and based on #art, #science, and #medicine. I hope you would like to support my ballet program and try it to maintain optimal mental and physical health.
