Homeopathy Treats Depression

sunflower

Sixty-seven-year-old Lyndon beat depression with homeopathy.

When Lyndon W chose homeopathy to try to combat an infection, she did not consider homeopathic treatment for her manic depression, which had been part of her life for 32 years.  But when her infection abated with the help of a homeopathic remedy, this encouraged her to open her mind to homeopathy as a possible treatment for her long-standing mental illness.

Lyndon is 67 and lives in Tyne & Wear and has been taking the conventional drug Stelazine for the last 32 years to control her manic depression.  Lyndon, now widowed for 12 years, says her life has been blighted by the illness.  She decided to try homeopathy and hoped to eventually come off her medication with the help of Annie Gray, a registered Homeopath. 

In the space of 5 years, Lyndon, now an artist, has been able to come off Stelazine and manages the highs and lows of her manic depression, as well as the withdrawal from her drugs with homeopathy, acupressure 'tapping' and through her art. 

Mental health services cost the country as a whole almost £8m, with prescription drugs accounting for £750m and GP consultations £900m. 

More than two million people in the UK are diagnosed as having depression at any one time, with the World Health Organization predicting that it will be second only to heart disease as the biggest global health burden by 2020. It is also responsible for 70% of recorded suicides in the UK.

Lyndon says that because the remedies worked so quickly she was encouraged to come off Stelazine. 

"Homeopathy has helped me very much when lots of trauma and emotions which had been suppressed for many years with conventional drugs, began to emerge."

"In particular, the remedies helped with my phobias, which were much worse in public places.  Tapping on certain acupressure points alieviates some of my worst symptoms and I use homeopathy as and when necessary to keep me in a good mental-emotional state."
