Hello, Yes! There are tons of natural remedies that have been shown to help with depression. Herbs, homeopathy, and Nutriceuticals can all benefit mental health. If you live in an area that doesn't get a lot of sun or you spend most of your time indoors then you should start with some vitamin D.

It's important to work with a healthcare provider who does an assessment on your symptoms and listens to what you're looking for. There are a lot of great tools outside (and along with) medications that can help alleviate mild depression. If you'd like to do a consultation I'm happy to help.

Yes, there are many different naturopathic based therapies/treatments that are available for depression. Depression is usually a result of an imbalance in the body somewhere. Identifying the root imbalances and correcting them often is key to successful relief from depression.
I have seen naturopathic approaches to depression be sustainable. I find that identifying the root cause is integral for successful treatment.

Dear patient,
There are many causes and reasons for depression and also many different types. It is a very serious condition that must be taken seriously. Therefore, patients deserve a complete medical workup that includes possible thyroid issues along with ruling out metabolic, cardiac, immune, neurological, and hematological disorders. Moreover, there are blood tests that can discern if you are low on certain neurotransmitters. Following this, if your depression is mild, then yes, naturopathic medicine could possibly help you along with exercise and therapy. Your diet is also crucial in helping you to abate your depressive symptoms.

Depression may be successfully treated with natural interventions. I prefer to do urine neurotransmitter testing to look at imbalances to better identify which neurotransmitters need help. Using nutrients, herbs and amino acids to build serotonin and create balance neurotransmitters can be effective for treating depression. In addition. homeopathic medicines can be great for mood and depression especially sadness associated with loss. A vitamin called methylated folate or MTHF (Rx known as Deplin) in higher amounts may also be effective for treating depression. There are natural approaches to treat depression as well as medication if needed. No one should continue to be depressed. There is so many approaches to assist you that you don't need to continue to suffer. Get the support you need!
