Natural Solutions to Depression

Depression affects tens of thousands of Americans every year. Sometimes it is situational, like after a breakup or the death of a loved one, but for some, it is ongoing and can last for years.

The wonderful thing about complementary medicine is that we believe the body can heal itself. Our job is the find the cause of the problem, stimulate the body to heal, and remove the obstacles to healing.

The current treatment for depression is anti-depressants like Prozac, Paxil, and Effexor.  These prevent your body from recycling serotonin so that you have more serotonin active in your brain. The problem is that they don't actually replace the serotonin. If you take these medications for long periods, they can stop working, because you still may not have enough serotonin. Another reason why they may stop working, or not work for you in the first place is that there are other neurotransmitters that play a role in depression too: GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine, and more. Some of the newer anti-depressants effect both serotonin and norepinephrine and can help more of the population, but the problem still remains that you're not replacing the neurotransmitters.
