Many adjunts: Although homeopathic approaches may help as an adjunct - it will not be able to replace mental health treatment. A balanced, multi-disciplinary approach can be very beneficial. Options include: psychiatric meds, supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, acupressure, tai chi, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation & deep breathing excercises to mention a few.

Depression: As dr. Fowler says, depression deserves well-rounded treatment -- including your own lifestyle, relationships, diet, exercise, spiritual practices, etc. Also, i've seen people with longstanding, treatment-resistant depression recover with skilled homeopathic treatment. The process requires thorough case-taking, accurate prescription, and close follow-up over time. Choose your homeopath carefully.
