Depression

I Dont Know What Homiopathic means, sorry

[erinelise2]

Homeopathic is natural meds like the st. johns wort mentioned before.  Its works for some people.  There are a lot of anti depressants on the market (prescription).  She doesn't have to take the one she took before.  They each can have different side effects she may have to try several before she finds one that works well for her. I've been there. She has to decide if working through potential side effects is worth it.  For some people it can take the world from black and white to color.  And for some people it doesn't help or isn't worth it.  Right now it's what I need.  Good Luck to both of you.

I've taken a few different drugs for depression and some of them don't make you feel good or feel nothing. Everyone will feel differently so she has to try them and really be open minded and be honest if she doesn't like them for any reason and talk to the doctor again. There are so many options out there you are bound to find something that works for her.

My doctor asked if I'd like to take meds for depression but I refused. I don't like the idea of artificial happiness. If I'm discontent with life, it's my job to find meaning, not glaze it over with drugs.

Mental Illness is all in your head

I wish I had something great to offer. I have a few relatives who feel the same way about ADD meds and other meds. I'm not sure what their lives would be like if they actually took them. However, I do know that they're unable to keep a job. Since my baby was born 9 months ago, I've felt blah and not willing or anxious to do anything. I recently forced myself out of the house and started walking. I'm finally starting to smile.

If it's postpartum depression, then it's because of the sudden drop in progesterone hormone after giving birth.

Our niece suffered with it after having both of her children.  It was successfully treated with a natural progesterone cream.  The one by WAM Essentials (Dr. William Wong) is pretty good as it doesn't list having alot of chemicals or parabens, etc...

Low thyroid hormones can make someone depressed after giving birth.  Look up Dennis Wilson, MD, T3, Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome and find a doctor from his site in your area.  Low thyroid can also happen without pregnancy too, of course.  But if it's a depression where nothing bad happened, then it could be hormones.

NCR helped me, as I felt euphoric after the session.

Natural therapies are always the best.

A couple of times in my life I was depressed because of various things that had taken place in my life. I believe medicine covers up what the real problem is and keeps it there internally. I always search for a solution to a problem that will eliminate the pain. What I have learned over time the reason to this depression that I faced was that I would wrap my emotions around unforgiveness; someone saying or doing something I didnt like, people using me, not having confidence or not knowing who I was at the time etc. As I have matured I find that a heart that is thirsty for more of God's word (the bible) that one begins to be strengthened and more spiritually aware of the possibilites of true deliverance, and change. Depression is no joke I've gone through it and believe that sincere faith, consistant love, a various of other helpful things that get the mind off of pain, of course dreams (the vision) of accomplishing, hobbies, etc. can remove a heavy heart. Thinking about the good things about self and others, the big and little things out of life that cause us to smile, blush, laugh will eventually out weigh the negitive once practiced daily. Life is ment to live more abundantly, we should never let set backs, disappointments, loved one's leaving us, haunt us for the rest of our lifes. Brighter days exist when we put value were it should have been all along. In prayer for you and your loved ones.
