Mood Disorders

Depression is one of the most common conditions I see in clinic; I have always been baffled at how a negative stigma became attached to such a common experience. Here in New Zealand we are getting better at talking about depression but we have a long way to go and a lot more we can do. If you have an issue with your mental health be assured that you are not alone and that you are possibly in the majority.

From my experience homeopathy and acupuncture really come into their own in the treatment of emotional disorders such as mood swings, grief, depression and anxiety. I like to take a full case history as no symptoms are ever completely the same and then formulate a treatment plan. Usually I start with an acupuncture treatment to balance the body and get things flowing a bit better, followed with the remedy most suited to your symptom-picture.
