Whole-Person Healing: How Physical and Mental Health Work Together

Your body and your mind aren’t separate. What affects one often affects the other.

At Pawnee Nation Behavioral Health, we take a whole-person approach to healing because we know that mental health and physical health are deeply connected.

How They Influence Each Other

• Mental health issues like depression can lead to fatigue, chronic pain, or changes in appetite.

• Chronic illnesses or physical pain can increase anxiety, stress, or substance use.

• Poor sleep or nutrition can worsen symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression.

When someone is living with both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder, taking care of the body becomes even more important. That’s why our treatment includes psychiatric care, therapy, and support for your physical wellness.

Healing means caring for the whole you. If you’ve been feeling out of balance, let us help you restore connection between mind and body.
