DEPRESSION
The World Health Organization Predicts
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, there are approx. 1 million Canadians suffer from some form of depression. The World Health Organization predicts depression will be the second-leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020, trailing only heart disease. Western antidepressant drugs such as Prozac and Paxil — which work by altering certain chemicals (e.g. Serotonin) called neurotransmitters in our brains — are often prescribed for people suffering from depression.
Consider, depression in not illness.
Chinese traditional medicine does not recognize depression as a particular illness per se but rather an internal imbalance or blockage caused by exposure to external stresses. Such stress, if not treated, can cause energy blockage or changes of the neurotransmitters, such as a decrease in brain concentration of serotonin levels — resulting in symptoms such as anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, and eventually, depression.
The disease is not important. The “patient” is important, because the patient has created the disease. The cause is in the patient; the disease is only a symptom. You can change the symptom, and another symptom will come up. You can force this disease by drugs, you can stop its expression, but then the disease will assert itself somewhere else and with more danger, more force – with a vengeance. So we will feel the “patient.” As we all aware education and experience equality important. But most important to get in tune with the “patient” and find the cause using both western and eastern medicine. We care and will build a rapport; and create a bridge on your healing journey!
