I'm currently stuck halfway through an interior design course.<BR/><BR/>Although it's not the answer to everything, it works brilliantly for so many problems. Again, the practitioner is pretty crucial, word of mouth is the best way to find one. It's well worth a try.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588437065757203375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-49421617795591661852007-04-04T08:38:00.000+01:002007-04-04T08:38:00.000+01:00Marianne, that is very interesting...we have never...Marianne, that is very interesting...we have never tried professional ( as opposed to over the counter) homeopathy but I know people who have had good results for various problems.<BR/>My son is currently having CBT with a very good therapist and it is helping, slowly but surely. However I was told by a psychologist that in adults at least, medication is very often needed to support the CBT. I guess it depends on the severity of the problem being treated.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103529618681254875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-84550834450611041082007-04-03T10:05:00.000+01:002007-04-03T10:05:00.000+01:00Skipping from depression to ADHD, apparently there...Skipping from depression to ADHD, apparently there is a link here too - something about the way the brain processes dopamine, so maybe that is why your sons have issues?<BR/><BR/>CBT is probably the best thing, but only if you connect with the therapist; homeopathy can be helpful. I know complementary therapies are expensive, but your health is so precious and I think it's worth it. <BR/><BR/>My son is also seeing a homeopath for his problems, so we're tackling it both ways. See what helps, what gets him through.<BR/><BR/>To change the subject, I'm having some problems with my page -would you mind if I consulted you on them? I'm a novice and you seem to be more established.<BR/><BR/>Nice to meet you too and good luck with the depression. It's such a hidden epidemic.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588437065757203375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-73021654518074239532007-04-01T21:43:00.000+01:002007-04-01T21:43:00.000+01:00In the UK at least, Depression is now the third bi...In the UK at least, Depression is now the third biggest reason to visit a GP and yet, outside of the medical field, very few people understand what Depression is all about.<BR/><BR/>Please forgive the 'sales pitch' but you might just be interested in a brand new DVD just released by my company called EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT DEPRESSION and presented by UK Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Darryl Britto, who made the DVD especially for Depression patients and those training in the medical field. He discusses the myths about Depression, as well as its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, the various treatment including antidepressants, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Social Intervention, and then goes on to discuss prognosis (outcomes of treatment.)
