Depression is a chronic, long-lasting or recurring and treatable disorder, affected person experiences sadness, worthlessness, loss of motive, loss of interest and/or hopelessness.

A depressive disorder is an illness that involves the mood and thoughts and in simple words can be expressed as persistent sad mood. Depression is not a character flaw or a sign of personal weakness and the suffering person can’t make himself well by trying to snap out of it. Depression affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things.

Depression results from a complex partly understood biochemical changes in the brain, which are influenced and supported by multiple causes inclusive of the genetic trait, circumstantial factors, hormonal factors, socio-personal reasons, etc. Increased levels of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine are found to improve the state of depression.

Depression is much more common than we believe. Women are twice more often affected by depression than men.

Why homeopathy for the treatment of Depression:
Well let me clear you it’s a myth that homeopaths treats Symptoms only and not the cause
Rather the fact is homeopathy covers the underlying root cause and not the hormone replacement to check the symptomatology.
We as a homeopath rather stimulate the underlying affected organ to release hormones in appropriate quantity to fulfill the demand needs to operate the normal functioning of the body to maintain the equilibrium – that is the reason why it is called a Real Immune Booster by activating the already equipped hormonal belt or the naturally gifted inbuilt Immune System.

Permanent removal of symptoms are vice versa If applied properly through a law of nature applicable on homeopathy i.e. “Like Cures Likes”
And to choose symptoms for the proper selection of homeopathic medicine is an art that needs lots of skill and practice ( matching maximum number of symptoms ) is not Homeopathy rather it requires lots of skill, fundamental knowledge of an illness as well as the art of applying medicine by keeping in mind the all relevant and irrelevant symptoms and issues.
