Depression is a condition that is characterized by a sense of 'feeling low' with reduced concentration, reduced energy and reduced ability to enjoy daily activities for at least two weeks. In simple terms, if a person feels low off and on and the symptoms can change within hours or one or two days, then the diagnosis of depression as an illness is inappropriate. If depression becomes worse there can be a loss of appetite (in some cases an increase) with consequent loss in weight (or gain), bowel... Read More

drpkchadha 25 May 11 6:34 PM Averil.You have made some very good points. There are many angles to a story. You can see the story from only one angle or from more than one angles. Another approach to treat depression is with vitamin B3 and amino acid tryptophan. Among herbs, St. John's wort is well known. My own experience in treating depression is with imagery and meditation. As a person relaxes, the events and persons that are in the past, become alive in the memory. The treatment of depression in such cases lies in 'processing' the emotions that arise as a result. The first such case I saw many years ago was that of a lady who had been recommended to go on antidepressant medication. In her history, five deaths over previous six years had contributed to her depressed state. Doing grief work was enough for her. She did not look back or needed medication ever again.
averil25 24 May 11 9:13 PM I agree that anti-depressant medications play a major role in treating clients with depression. But I think there are numerous alternative ways we can do to help clients overcome depression. All of us can have the chance to develop depression. It’s a matter of how we cope up the stresses in our life. I too had a depression before that cause me to feel very down. When I go through the Yuen method practice, I come upon memories of my thoughts and feelings that I experienced during the day but there are something hidden within my body that I can’t explain. When Paul (YM practitioner) corrected the negative energy that I have, I see a new light that help me process my memories. And my experience with a Yuen method is that it helps me to take away my depression and anxiety especially when I am filled with being negative. This is really amazing!Here are some video resources with learning tips that demonstrate the benefits of energy medicine, http://www.chineseenergetics.com/Energy-Medicine/
