Depression

What is a Depression?

• Depression is a mental health disorder marked by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and lack of energy.
• It can affect emotions, thoughts, behaviour, and physical health, reducing quality of life.

Causes of the Depression:

Depression is caused by a mix of biological, psychological, and social factors:

Family history of depression (genetic predisposition)
Imbalance of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine)
Long-term stress or traumatic life events
Chronic illnesses (diabetes, thyroid disorders, heart disease)
Substance abuse (alcohol, drugs)
Hormonal changes (postpartum and menopause)

Depression affects people of all ages, but is more common in adults.
Women are affected more often than men.
Early counselling and treatment improve chances of recovery. Exercise, meditation, and social support play a vital role in management.
Untreated depression can increase suicide risk.

Symptoms of Depression:

Symptoms may vary in intensity but commonly include:

• Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness.
• Loss of interest or pleasure in day-to-day activities.

• Fatigue or low energy.
• Disturbed sleep (insomnia or oversleeping).

• Appetite and weight changes.
• Difficulty in concentration and decision-making.

• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness.
• Suicidal thoughts in severe cases.
• Eating too much or too little, which may result in weight gain or weight loss.

How Homeopathy Helps in Depression:

Homeopathic medicines act on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, correcting hormonal imbalances that lead to mood swings and depressive states.
By stimulating the vital force, the remedy restores balance in the neuro-hormonal system, which is reflected in better emotional stability and energy.
Homeopathic medicines work through psychoneuroimmunological pathways by reducing stress and negative emotions.
Homeopathic medicines address vibrational imbalance of gloom and hopelessness, helping restore emotional equilibrium.
May influence psychoneuroimmunology and boost serotonin production by reducing stress-driven hopelessness, which is linked to lower serotonin activity and reduced motivation.
Remedies aim to restore mental balance and improve coping capacity.
Commonly used remedies include :
Ignatia Amara (for grief and emotional shock),
Natrum muriaticum (for suppressed emotions),
Aurum metallicum (for deep despair).

Please note: Homeopathic medicines should not be self-administered. It is essential to consult with an experienced and qualified homeopathic practitioner for optimal therapeutic results and safe treatment. An experienced Homeopath thoroughly evaluates your Past History, Medical History, Family History, Constitutional Assessment (Physical constitution, temperament, and individual characteristics), Lifestyle Factors and Mental & Emotional Status on basis of which the most suitable remedy is prescribed. Always seek consultation with an experienced homeopathic practitioner who can provide proper case taking, remedy selection, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safe and effective treatment tailored to your individual needs.
