Depression and How to Treat It Definitively
Depression is a very particular emotional state characterized fundamentally by habitual sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in almost all things, loss of confidence in oneself and in life, a feeling of uselessness, a sensation of failure, pessimism in addition to tiredness, fatigue, appetite problems and in many cases common physical consequences such muscle tension, lower back pain, blood pressure alterations, dizziness, etc.
Many depressed patients additionally display irritability, distress, fear, anxiety and restlessness, sometimes to the point that they have an emotion crisis.
They feel desperate and weep when recounting tragic facts or unfortunate circumstances in their life.
What is the cause? This emotional disorder can be due to biological reasons or genes where the causes that trigger it are not always visible.
Health conditions, age, gender and medication are all possible reasons.
Depression can also be caused by external or environmental factors such as pain, humiliation, bad news, a difficult economic situation, the death of a loved one or anything else that damages emotional stability and diminishes our vitality.
Types of depression Clinically, depression can be classified according to emotional states and circumstances such as severe depression, mood disorders, postpartum depression or bipolar disorder.
In this last example the emotional state of the patient varies between sadness and rage.
If we take into account the individual variants, we will see that not everyone fits exactly into one of these sub types.
Each person will show a very particular combination of symptoms that will be relative to their character, way of life and how they express themselves, which is affected by their surroundings.
This individual variation is a fundamental fact and a basic pillar of homeopathy, in order to differentiate one person from another by looking for the key symptoms that allow a diagnosis of the patient as a whole and understanding what needs to be cured.
How can homeopathy help? Within the scope of homeopathy it is very clear that a disease is not only limited to the organs or the body, but that it jeopardizes the total integrity of the person that is ill.
The cause may be a predisposition or personal weakness in relation to surroundings that disrupts one's personal harmony.
The homeopathic medicine suggested, resulting from a correct repertoire and understanding between the doctor and patient, will act by stimulating deep vital reactions that balance a person's mind, body and emotions.
Some examples: Ignatia corresponds to acute cases of pain stemming from a recent loss of a loved one and when there is a feeling of severe pain and anguish that externalizes in the chest and throat, like a lump that makes it difficult to swallow but that improves by swallowing.
An ignatia patient cannot express all their pain and they find it difficult to cry in public.
They weep only in solitude and any consolation or advice puts them in a bad mood.
The effect of the medicine is that they open up to the world; they tell their story and cry about how unjust life has treated them, thus releasing the internal tension.
Staphisagria feels similar to ignatia, although in addition to sorrow and chest pain they feel great anger and repressed rage for the loss of loved ones, deception, among other things causing pain in the chest and head as well as fainting, high blood pressure, etc.
Phosphoric Acidum is useful for cases of sorrow because of deception, death of a loved one that causes deep sadness accompanied by physical weakness and a severe depression with indifference to everything.
Gelsemiun is similar to phosphoric acidum but profound anxiety that results in exhaustion and weariness causing tremors is a critical additional symptom.
The idea of homeopathy is that symptoms resulting from a health issue are the body's way of fighting infection or adapting to stress.
Homeopathic remedies are given for their ability support and increase the body's own defenses.
Some refer to homeopathy as "medical aikido" because it flows with, rather than against, the force of the disease.
The suggested homeopathic remedies are determined by the unique way a person experiences a disease.
The recommended remedies are based on all physical and psychological symptoms of a patient and the results are significant.
