Depression & Psychiatric Problems :
Sometimes physical problems can cause depression. But other times, symptoms are part of a more complex psychiatric problem. There are several different types of depression, including:
- Major depressive disorder
- Dysthymia and chronic depression (now called persistent depressive disorder)
- Seasonal affective disorder
- Psychotic depression
- Bipolar depression
An individual with major depression, or major depressive disorder, feels a profound and constant sense of hopelessness and despair.
Major depression is marked by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the person’s ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Major depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime.
The homeopathic understanding of health is intimately connected to its understanding of the mind in general. Homeopaths don’t separate the mind and body in the usual way; they generally assume that body and mind are dynamically interconnected and that both directly influence each other. Homeopaths base virtually every homeopathic prescription on the physical and psychological symptoms of the sick person. Psychological symptoms often play a primary role in the selection of the correct medicine.
Trying to determine whether a person’s mental state caused his physical disease or vice versa is rarely helpful in discovering the correct homeopathic medicine. Most of the time, this determination is moot. Instead, the homeopath seeks to find a medicine that matches the totality of the person’s physical and psychological symptoms, irrespective of “which came first” says Dr. Sangita Bajaj, Chief Homeopath, at Vaishnavi clinic, Nigdi, Pune.
