Natural treatment for depression

• Are you or someone you love struggling with depression?
• Do you have depression unresponsive to medication?
• Would you like to explore the possibility of weaning off antidepressants safely?

It is my joy to extend a beacon of hope. I can help you through the normal bumps in life's road that cause situational sadness. I can also help if you have longstanding depression.

DEPRESSION TREATMENT

My approach includes:

• Identifying and treating physical causes of depression
• Providing nutritional guidance that brings brain chemicals to optimal levels
• Identifying whether you are one of the 70% of people with depression who have a genetic difference that is treatable
• Prescribing antidepressants when necessary

New scientific research shows that antidepressants actually reduce the body's ability to make important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. For this reason, antidepressants often stop working, which makes the depression worse. Then, conventional treatment would prescribe larger doses or a change in medication to re-establish optimal levels. Through supplements called targeted amino acid therapy, we can rebalance neurotransmitters and bring them up to their proper levels. As treatment progresses, special testing allows this amino acid therapy to be adjusted as neded. I also support the digestive tract where 70% of serotonin is made. As depression begins to lift, it is possible for many patients to reduce or wean off medication gradually and safely.

CHILDREN'S HEALTH:

Parents bring their children for a variety of reasons, but among the top three are behavioral issues, GI problems and headaches. These are also frequent reasons for children to miss school. When physical or emotional issues interfere with school performance and social relationships, parents search for answers. They often come to me when they are at their wit's end and at a loss as to what to do.

Parents don't often realize they need healing when a child is hurting. A child's distress can be difficult for everyone, as it upsets the balance of the whole family dynamic. As the root cause of illness is found and treated, both child and family reclaim health. When a child gets better, parent's worry less and relax into the healing process. They don't have to try to hold things together, anticipating the next illness or behavioral outburst. This reduces stress for the parent and brings hope and healing.

I love using homeopathy with children because its simple, natural and is powerfully effective for physical and emotional conditions. I begin by getting to know the child and his/her concerns and the special way they respond to what happens around them. In this way, I am able to give a remedy that best fits them. I also focus on healthy eating for the whole family, as well as vitamins and supplements when necessary.
