Depression - The Silent Killer ! Take the Homeopathic Approach..

When moods don't just swing-they bounce, pivot, recoil, rebound, oscillate, fluctuate and occasionally pirouette.....that's how patients suffering from depression feel.  

People who suffer from depression don't use their symptoms as any excuse. Rather they would give anything to function "normally" on a day to day basis. These people need help and support from their family and friends and at times professional help. This support is important for patients suffering from depression to cope up and get rid of this difficult mental state.

Symptoms  

Some of the ways you might feel are: 

Sad, empty, or anxious:It will continue over time without getting better or going away.

Helpless, worthless, or guilty:You may feel bad about yourself or your life, or think a lot

Hopeless:You may be pessimistic or believe that nothing good will ever happen. You may even think about suicide.

Irritable:You may get restless or more cranky than usual.

Less interest in activities:Hobbies or games you usually enjoy may not appeal to you. You may have little or no desire to eat or have sex.

Less energetic:You may feel extremely tired or think more slowly. Daily routines and tasks may seem too hard to manage.

Trouble concentrating:It could be tough to focus. Simple things like reading a newspaper or watching TV may be hard. You may have trouble remembering details. It might seem overwhelming to make a decision, whether it's big or small.

Changes in the way you sleep:You may wake up too early or have trouble falling asleep. The opposite can also happen. You may sleep much longer than usual.

Changes in appetite:You may overeat or not feel hungry. Depression often leads to weight gain or weight loss.

Aches and pains:You may have headaches, cramps, an upset stomach, or digestive problems.

Causes

Brain structure:- The way certain nerve pathways or circuits in your brain send information may not work properly. Scans show that the parts of your brain involved in mood, thinking, sleep, appetite, and behavior look different when you're depressed, but scientists aren't sure why. Genes. Scientists are studying certain genes that may make you more likely to get it. But even if you have them, you may not get depressed. And depression can happen in some people even when they don't have that genetic makeup.

Depression can run in families, but that doesn't mean you'll develop depression just because someone you're related to has it.

Homeopathy for Depression

Homoeopathy is quite an underrated therapy for the treatment of depression which can help on its own or in conjunction with nutritional and/or hormone therapy.

Homeopathy makes more sense for depression than antidepressant drugs. Pharmaceutical drugs for depression are designed to force the body chemistry to act in certain ways-for example, to artificially increase the effects of brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters. These drugs may reduce symptoms of depression, but they don't address the root cause of this type of mental health problem. Therefore, not only can pharmaceutical drugs interfere with the healing process, they may suppress it.

When it comes to depression, that means that antidepressants actually can make the condition worse. When one antidepressant doesn't work, physicians often prescribe another one, which can lead to even more side effects. The treatment for depression has to be individualistic, taking into consideration the symptoms, the causes, circumstances of the patient and many other conditions. While treating a patient, homeopathy takes all these factors into consideration to promote and give complete cure to the patient, so that the patient himself is able to overcome the feeling of sadness, which is more than just sadness. Homeopathic treatment is mostly constitutional and needs a proper consultation with a homeopathic physician.
