Andris Saulitis, M.D.

Biography and practice

For over forty years Andris Saulitis practised where a mistake is immediately visible — in severe psychiatric wards. His clinical material is verifiable: the archive of the Riga Centre of Psychiatry and Narcology (Tvaika 2, Riga, Latvia).

Across these decades — more than twenty thousand clinical examinations and thousands of concrete treatment cases: from endogenous and organic depression, bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia to addictions and psychosomatics. This body of tested practice is the substance from which the VitaModo method grew.

The VitaModo method

At its core is an integrative clinical model built at the intersection of psychiatry, neurophysiology and metabolism. The psyche is treated not as a set of labels but as a command system: the brain, the stress axis, neurotransmitters, neuronal energetics. A disorder is read on three levels — physiological, functional and clinical — and treated multifactorially: medication, psychotherapy, support and lifestyle.

The method draws on the school of understanding thought disorder and on advances in metabolic psychiatry and neuroimmunology. The author's firm stance: no compromise with religious, political or psychological trends — only what is scientific, clinical and testable.

“The Reader” and the method of thought

A separate line of work concerns how a person reads reality. In the book “The Reader's Problem” the author describes phenomena of contaminated thinking (talking past one another, confusion of fact and inference, of the objective and the subjective) and offers a practical tool to tell them apart — the “three pencils”.

The author's method of thought descends not from Socrates but from the Stoics (distinguishing what is within our power), the sober realism of Machiavelli and the depth of Nietzsche — all held in the mirror of clinical psychiatry.

Institute for the Prevention of Mental Disorders and Addictions

VitaModo is not a clinic for “after the illness” but an outpost before it. Its mission: to give a person a clinically clean instrument for understanding and restoring the psyche before the current of the age knocks them off their feet — and to bring the prevention of mental disorders and addictions into the mainstream.

The system: AI, doctor and a live coach

VitaModo is the first project in psychiatry and psychoneurology to speak of acting in the era after artificial intelligence. Its system unites three forces: an AI retrieving from the author's clinical corpus (RAG), a live psychiatrist and a trained coach. The patient undergoes a clinical audit of their state, receives personal recommendations and brochures, and the support runs continuously.

The key principle is hybridity and order: first clinically verified education and a professional's answer, and only then AI as a continuous hand under the doctor's guard. This is how the system uses AI in the person's interest, not the other way around.
