Anxiety & Depression Treatments

Increasingly parents and some General Practitioners are turning to alternative therapies to try to alleviate childhood conditions for which traditional medicine often has few resources except the prescription of medication.

Dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD/ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorders, Tourette's Syndrome and general behavioral problems can be, and often are, debilitating for child and family alike and dramatically affect quality of life for all.

ADD-ADHD is caused by an imbalance in brain chemicals called neurotransmitters.

There are 5 specific neurotransmitters that you must keep in good health and balance.

ANXIETY

Anxiety is considered an illness when you cannot control your anxious feelings. Anxiety disorders involve excessive levels of negative emotions, such as fear, worry, nervousness, and tension, and the anxious feelings occur involuntarily despite your best attempts to avoid them or stave them off. From chronic worrying, called generalized anxiety disorder by experts, to panic attacks, most seem to have the same root cause: unrealistic, overwhelming fears that can not only paralyze the mind but also cause serious physical problems. More than 23 million Americans experience some form of anxiety, making it the most common mental illness in the country.

DEPRESSION

If you have depression, you may feel hopeless and sad or stop feeling pleasure from almost everything you do. You may feel “down in the dumps,” tearful, or discouraged. You may also be irritable or anxious or have low energy levels. The symptoms of depression are often subtle at first. It can be hard to recognize that symptoms may be connected and that you might have depression. The two most significant symptoms of depression are sadness or hopelessness, loss of interest in or pleasure from most daily activities.

Other symptoms include:

• Sleeping too much or not enough.
• Feeling restless and unable to sit still, or feeling that moving takes a great effort.
• Feeling tired all the time.
• Feeling unworthy or guilty without an obvious reason.
• Having problems concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
• Thinking often about death or suicide.
• Weight gain or loss
  

THE SCIENCE OF DEPRESSION

Anxiety and depression are so destructive that the sufferer can lose their job, their home, and their family due to their immobilizing effects. Depression and anxiety can have such a tremendous physical component that physical pain is often associated with both conditions. The causes of anxiety and depression are many and varied from traumatic stress, abuse, great loss, and genetic factors to name a few. In order to be depressed or anxious there must have been some change in the dopaminergic system which translates to a decrease in endorphins. In plain English that means a deficiency in the “feel good chemicals” in the brain.

OVERLY MEDICATED?

Unfortunately, we are living in an era where there are too many medical doctors prescribing patients for anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications without using proper diagnostic tools, and without referring to a mental health professional, and without a plan for the patient being well. The literature; the newspapers, the magazines are full of examples of people on such drugs having adverse reactions; committing suicide, or overdosing on cocktails of anti-depressant, anti-anxiety and pain medications.

A MORE COMPLETE SOLUTION

We know that Auriculotherapy plus TRT Chiropractic care in conjuction with the right nutritional support, and the appropriate mental health professional has been proven, not only to be effective, but to have eliminated the need in many cases, and drastically reduced the dosages for psychotropic medications for anxiety and depression even with those patients considered organically depressed.

PARTNERING WITH YOU

Our goal is for our patients to be healthy, successful, and productive. Getting well takes partnership. Auriculotherapy for depression and anxiety jumpstarts the brain’s own “feel good” chemistry factory to produce more endorphins. With this process activated your energy returns, interest in life returns, calmness and peace wash over you and, it can happen as early as the very first visit. Gentle Torque Release Technique Chiropractic Care reduces the stress in the spinal chord itself so that your body can function properly and return itself to homeostasis. Your Mental Health Professional provides the psychosocial support and medical guidance to help you reduce, eliminate, or better regulate your medicinal needs.

As one recovering workaholic/chronically anxious patient so aptly put it after her Auriculotherapy/Chiropractic session, “So this is how normal people feel!”
