What is Depression?
Everyone feels sad or “down in the dumps” at times, but the
sadness usually goes away. However, for some people, these
sad feelings remain for a long while. A person who feels bad
for a very long time might have depression or anxiety or both,
called Anxiety-Depression Disorder. Depression is a disease
that affects a person’s moods. Moods are the way a person
feels and how he or she expresses those feeling. Someone
who suffers from depression may feel sad, angry, irritable,
tired, confused, guilty, or worthless. A person who is depressed
may lose interest in almost everything he or she used to enjoy.

Depression can cause physical changes in the body, too. A
person with depression may have aches and pains and other
health problems. Depression also changes the way a person
acts. Somebody who is depressed may yell and throw things.
He or she may not eat enough or eat too much. This person
might have trouble sleeping or feel so tired that he or she stays
in bed most of the time. Depression can have a serious effect
on a person’s life. It can cause problems with school, a job,
family, and friends.

Depression is not a weakness or a personality problem. It is

painful for the person who has it. The disease can also be
difficult for the person’s family and friends. The good news is
that a person with depression can be helped. There are a
number of treatments that a doctor can use to help him or her
feel better. There are also things a person with depression can
do to get healthier. While there is no one single cure for
depression, there is help and there is hope. No one with the
disease should suffer alone.

Depression may now be defined in terms of the following

attributes:

1. A specific alteration in mood: sadness, loneliness, apathy.

2. A negative self – concept associated with self-reproaches and self-blame.
3. Regressive and self-punitive wishes: desire to escape, hide, or die.
4. Vegetative changes: anorexia, insomnia, loss of libido.
5. Change in activity level: retardation or agitation.

reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) , Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

Homeopathy Treatment for Depression and
Anxiety

In the treatment of
depression, it is necessary to identify the cause of depression.

Homeopathy for depression and anxiety – Homeopathy is one

of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The selection
of remedy is based upon the theory of individualization and
symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only
way through which a state of complete health can be regained
by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient
is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat
depression and anxiety but to address its underlying cause and
individual susceptibility. As far as therapeutic medication is
concerned, several homeopathic medicines are available for
depression treatment that can be selected on the basis of
cause, condition, sensation and modalities of the complaints.

treatment, the patient should consult a qualified homeopathic
