Depression

Depression is a normal response to a sad event, or to a series of mishaps.  If you experience the symptoms of mild depression, such as feeling low, tired, irritable or frustrated, you may well find that homeopathic medicine can boost you and get you out of the emotional 'rut'.  More serious depression is indicated by changes in appetite, loss of sexual desire, sleep disturbance and thoughts of suicide.  These particular symptoms require a constitutional diagnosis by a qualified Homeopath.

Depression has been treated by homeopathy.

Depression requires detailed specific prescribing of the "right" homeopathic remedy.

Trial and error or shotgun prescribing does not work, and therefore we don't recommend self-medication. In fact, self-medication will complicate the overall symptom picture.

Below are only some of the remedies we may prescribe, please note how important the individual symptom picture is. Only when all symptoms, aggravation or amelioration are taken into consideration can a specific homeopathic remedy be selected.
A further consideration is given to the potency of the remedy.
