homeopathy
 

im just wondering if anyone has had any experience of treating depression with homeopathy?
my dads friend mentioned it helped him and has encouraged me to give it a try and tbh after 6yrs im willing to try anything to try and sort myself out
so just wondering what people think of it really
thanks

I haven't tried it but I would if it were affordable.
Hopefully someone will have a better answer than me!

i have tried homeopathy, but to me it wasnt helpful. but a girl i know has tried it too and it helped. i guess everyone is different. give it a try though. it may work for you.

I think it's really important to point out that homeopathy has never been scientifically proven to treat depression. To me the whole principle of the more dilute something is the more powerful it is just doesn't seem remotely plausible or logical. However the placebo affect is a powerful thing.

What I would say is by all means try it. However don't use it as the sole way of treating your depression. I would continue with proven medical drugs/therapy and use the homeopathy alongside them. It just seems a little risky to entrust your entire mental health to something that hasn't passed through the scientific literature and peer review process.

yeh i know what you mean heiditiger
im skeptical of it myself, but then i just think really what have i got to lose in giving it a go. i think i have it in the back if my mind that the liklihood is it isnt going to work..but atm iv got nothing else. im still waiting for the counselling to come through and the meds havent worked so im currently just wasting time slowly coming off them

Nope. I've never tried it. But if you think it will help, go for it. :)
Take care. xo.
