Natural Remedies

Coping with anxiety is something that most people face at some point in their lives.

The teenager who is stressing over final exams is facing anxiety that can often influence how well they are going to do on their tests.

Starting a new job or embarking on a new business venture can produce levels of fear about what if and other concerns.

Taking a supplement such as Omega 3 has been proven to reduce symptoms of depression and can help those who are under stress.

Most doctors do not encourage their patients to choose natural remedies for disorders like depression and anxiety but not every patient really needs a pharmaceutical fix.

Orthomolecular medicine looks for a cause behind the symptoms. Unlike modern medicine, tests are done to look for deficiencies that can cause anxiety symptoms. You may only need to take a Vitamin B supplement if you are constantly tired and lack energy. It may not be depression at all!

Herbal remedies and vitamin supplements have been coming under fire lately with warnings that they can be dangerous to use. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but, with so many doctors pushing pharmaceutical drugs on their patients, maybe the powers that be are concerned that people who make the choice to try a natural remedy will hurt the billion dollar pharmaceutical business that runs our healthcare system.

Sometimes with some mental illnesses, a pharmaceutical drug is the best choice for treatment. Other times, an anti-depressant can do more long-term damage. Many people can overcome anxiety and depression by the use of herbal remedies, vitamin therapy, a more natural diet, lifestyle changes and stress reduction therapy. A pill with side effects and the risk of damage to your liver is not always needed.

Explore the idea of natural remedies by getting good medical advice. If your doctor is not open to the idea, find one who is. Weighing the benefits of natural remedies versus pharmaceutical fixes is the smarter way to cope with mental illness and honestly, whatever else ails you.
