Read entire article on my website   Depression: You Need a Program, Not a Pill     If you go to your doctor with symptoms of depression or anxiety, then chances are you'll get an SSRI* medication. Honestly, you don't really need a doctor for this. Your doctor will do NO testing, NO bloodwork, and will pull a likely SSRI drug out of the air and tell you to try it. (I'm not critical: there ARE no tests for these medications). If it doesn't help, you'll be given another SSRI to try out. You really should be able to go to a pharmacist for your SSRI prescription and skip the doctor visit. *SSRI: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. A type of antidepressant that increases levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is often referred to as the "feel-good hormone."

Notice that nowhere in this story is anyone looking for a root cause. There are plenty of clues to the cause: digestion, sleep, and probably other symptoms if only the doctor had dug in to find out. The truth is the patient doesn't need a pill; they need a program Anyone with depression and/or anxiety has many interrelated health issues that have resulted in their symptoms.

I may be able to help you     Patient Story: I Have a Real Sense of Hope Instead of a Chemically Induced High! I have seen significant improvement with my last 3 – 4 visits. My headaches have all but vanished. I have so much energy and mental clarity, and it feels amazing.

I can get so much more accomplished during the day than I used to. I have been off antidepressants for over a month and a half, and I have a real sense of hope about my life instead of a fleeting, chemically-induced high.
