Homeopathy and Depression

The use of conventional medicine for depression may temporarily inhibit or suppress a symptom relating to the depression, but does it help in getting to the root of why someone is feeling down, sad, frustrated or down right depressed?

There are so many underlying conditions and symptoms as diverse as fevers, coughs, nasal discharges, or even high blood pressure that a homeopathic practitioner recognizes as adaptations and defenses of the body, and although drugs that inhibit these symptoms may provide a short-term benefit, they also reduce the person’s ability to get over the illness.

More significantly and more seriously, conventional medications may actually suppress the disease process and the wisdom of the body, thereby creating a deeper and more serious illness.

Numerous studies have shown benefits in using the herb, St. Johns wort, to treat mild to moderate depression. However, homeopaths generally find that it is preferable to prescribe individualized homeopathic remedies to each patient to attain better long-term sustained results without having to take continual doses of conventional medicines.
