Abstract

Here I present thirteen patients who had significant process of cure from chronic depression through homeopathy during 2 years. Methods:Homeopathicmedical procedure is similar to that in conventional practices. In addition patients are asked about their own physiological and psychological condition before deciding on a homeopathic medicine. All patients were diagnosed as having Major Depressive Disorders with the DSM-IV and treated already several antidepressants. They were given homeopathy using various strategies over 3 months, in addition to antidepressants. Three steps were used to model indications of recovery from depression with homeopathy. The first step was to reduce difficulties in everyday life. The second step was to reduce and stop antidepressants. The last step was to reduce and stop the remedies. Cases considered recovered case were those in which antidepressants had been stopped six months and three months had passed since the stopping of homeopathic medicines. Results: During two years’ homeopathic process, all patients have recovered of depression. Two cases are focused on in detail in this presentation defined as three steps, and that model is used to report progress. Conclusion: Our cases may suggest homeopathic treatment can be a very useful strategy in addition to/or instead of conventional treatment for depression including the use of a three step strategy for reducing all dependence on clinical treatment.
