Cures for Depression

Technorati Tags: insomnia

I don’t want to go on anti-depressants until I exhaust all other methods. Does anyone have suggestions for homeopathic treatment of depression? I know exercise and proper diet are big factors but I don’t know what kind of diet to be on. Also, I’m in counseling/therapy right now to work on cognitive-behavioral technique, journaling, and starting to meditate. Now I just want to know if there are any supplements that work as hard as the Western medications.

Homeopathy will provide all you ask for, and more. Only, it sounds like you have a common misunderstanding of what homeopathy is and offers.

Homeopathy is a comprehensive healing modality, like acupuncture and chiropractic. A homeopath uses homeopathic remedies to stimulate one’s self-healing defense mechanism, whether a symptom manifests in the mind or body. It’s most similar to psychotherapy (in its feel, given the depth of listening and time a homeopath spends with you), only we help not only physical symptoms, but those in the mind and emotions. (Most physical problems are "somaticized," an overflow from childhood emotional wounds we were unable to "process.")

Homeopathy is complementary to the work you are doing with your counselor / therapist. Often, it helps you progress further, faster, and more freely. As with seeing a trained, licensed psychologist, however, you would need to similarly interview a "certified, professional homeopath" who does nothing but homeopathy. If you want to look into homeopathy further and need more help finding someone, e-mail me.

Take care, sweetie. You are looking in the right direction, and otherwise doing all the right things.

I had this with my middle child so I know what it feels like. My youngest is 6 months old and I am suddenly feeling symptoms of postpartum depression. I was just fine until now. I breastfeed only and there have been no changes with that at all. I have been losing about half a pound every day or two also, for no reason at all. Is it just hormones being goofy or something else?

Yes you can develop post-partum depression any time during the first year.

Also some women that previously had post partum depression will develop depression at other times.

However with the weight loss it would be a very good idea to have your thyroid levels checked and low thyroid is also common after birth, can cause depression. While its more commonly associated with weight gain when it causes depression it can also cause weight loss. While you are there you should get your iron and insulin levels checked as well.

Your moods are affected by your hormones, and you can have that at any stage of your life.

What happens if ya have insomnia and you don’t know what the cause is? If sleeping tablets don’t work what would be next? Could anxiety or depression cause insomnia?

I suffer from the same affliction, I tried a product called Sleep Well, its only in the states, but it worked for me.. check out their website for more info.

Just curious what people take for depression and anxiety if they want to use herbs.

Don’t say "Go to your doctor" because that doesn’t answer my question
