| President's Letter | |
780.79, Other Malaise and Fatigue.
by Molly Roberts, MD
Of all the diagnoses I write in my patients' charts, fatigue is far and away the most common problem people deal with. Fatigue is also the most ubiquitous and epidemic complaint in our society. The causes for it are wide-ranging and involve every aspect of mind, body, emotions and spirit. As you know, treating fatigue necessitates taking on the mindset of a detective to figure out which of all the available factors might contribute to fatigue in general and which could be creating this particular set of problems in this one human being sitting before you in your clinic.

Holistic
Medicine
And You Need Each Other
|
 You know why you joined AHMA. You know why you practice medicine as you do. More and more, people - your patients - are looking for the integrative, holistic approach to managing their health. We realized (again) at last year's retreat, The Healer Within, that you, as well as each member, need one another to remain whole, healthy, and able to help others. AHMA doesn't have chapters in every state, however, we want to help you connect with like-minded professionals whenever and wherever possible. So please, help us help you. If you want to start a chapter in your area, please contact Steve Cadwell; bookmark our calendar and check it often to find helpful events and opportunities to earn CMEs or other applicable education credits. To place events on our calendar that others might benefit from, send an email to Claudia. Thanks for helping us connect you with other members! | |
