As someone who has suffered from depression some years ago, over many years, it took a long time to recognise the cause. Thankfully and with the help of homeopathic and Bach remedies this understanding later gave me deeper insights into my own personal development, and my outlook on life was dramatically improved.

Depression can hit at any time, and of course there are many causes, life events being the main ones but also depression has a cause in inherited family tendencies. Grief, too, which is not processed fully may turn into a depressive state which becomes hard to step out of. There is a known link between unresolved grief becoming resident in the body manifesting as fibromyalgia (FMS), when there is pain all over the body, and in the joints.

Depression can cause physical changes in the body because everything that happens to us happens as an imprint on each of our levels: physical, mental, spiritual, emotional. The physical body reflects the internal state, and vice versa. Depression also changes the way a person evolves: lots of opportunities go unnoticed, invitations turned down, language becomes negative in speech and in internal processes. The whole body goes into a depressive state.

The covid pandemic has given us all a massive shock, and some of us have not been able to return to the health we had before. The outlook of a previously out-going personality before covid, may, for various reasons, turn inwards: we want or need to stay inside, we have a loss of zest for life, our relationships, emotional and mental worlds are changed, and not for the better.

We may suffer memory and sleep problems, we become uncertain and indecisive, we may be tearful. Homeopathic treatment needs first to identify the cause of the depression, and any accompanying symptoms through a Consultation appointment. With the right remedy it can be of great benefit.
