Homeopathy and Mental Health
Mental health and wellbeing are equally important as our physical health. Occasionally, it can be difficult to see the impact of mental health on an individual due to stress, anxiety, or other challenges. Our mental health helps us with having clarity in decision making, building resilience and having good communication within our support network. Good mental health includes our social and emotional wellbeing and creating a balance in all aspects of life.
When we face challenges in our emotional health, this can result in various behavioral disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder) and other compulsive issues.
Understanding how our mental health affects our overall body and what are some physical symptoms that can be seen due to a prolonged mental challenge can help in seeking better support and treatment. Some common symptoms include confusion, tiredness, lack of clarity, inability to make decisions, decrease in self confidence levels and difficulty in expressing feelings or lack of communication with family members. If the severity of emotional issue is more, it can also result in lack of interest in social events due to which a person can feel more isolated and overwhelmed.
How can homeopathy help with mental health?
Homeopathy can help with healing and enhancing an individual’s mental health as it is based on a complete physical and psychological assessment during the consultation process. This is followed by providing a natural medicine based on the principles of homeopathy and analyzing the individual symptoms and needs of the patient. The aim of the treatment is to understand one’s experience of the mental health challenge and provide an individualized and personalized approach rather than the conventional one size fits all strategy.
Homeopathy is a complete system that can help in improving an individuals experience of how the mental health affects them along with understanding its interrelation with any physical health issues.
What to expect on your appointment?
On your first appointment, the practitioner will discuss your main concerns and help you understand how these can differ from person to person. The homeopathic principles of individualization can determine what treatment approach would be best suitable based on your behavioral patterns, personal history and dietary factors.
The remedies are made for natural plant and mineral based sources which can progressively reduce the impact of chronic mental health issues and help in enhancing the coping mechanisms of the body.
