Abstract

This article presents examples of non-pharmacological approaches in mental health, including cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, mindfulness, self-hypnosis, relaxation, traditional remedies, physical activity, and contact with nature. The article also provides a synthesis of skills and practical resources to enrich the physicians' therapeutic toolbox, paving the way for preventive and sustainable medicine. In keeping with the holistic approach of family medicine, these interventions strengthen patient autonomy and offer alternatives or complements to conventional psychotropic treatments. Both undergraduate and continuing medical education must integrate these approaches to effectively address the growing mental health needs of the population.
