Maybe your Depression Isn’t Depression

People, one of the greatest harms you can do to yourself is to take the very limited view of the mental health paradigm as the only explanation for your feeling down, lacking energy, being unable to think clearly, and being irritable.

There are many physiological reasons why one can feel this way:

If you tried therapy and it didn’t work.

If you tried antidepressants and fish oil and they didn’t work.

If you tried so many other healing techniques to release your ‘depression’ and none of them worked…

Maybe it was because this was NEVER an emotionally-based problem.

Many people suffer from hormonal imbalances, especially during mid-life when the sex hormones slow down.

Many people suffer from thyroid and adrenal imbalances and don’t know it because the regular MDs are uneducated about the correct lab tests to find the underlying cause and will prescribe an antidepressant.

And given the terrible food that people are eating these days, destroying their gut’s lining, the leaky gut is causing mayhem for their brain’s function.

Your brain can only function well if you are giving it the nutrients it needs to make the neurotransmitters that it needs — dopamine, serotonin, GABA, etc. Your body will only function optimally when the hormones are balanced as your hormones run your entire body.

There is also a genetic basis for depression that a functional psychologist would be able to test you for.

If you are dealing with these issues, realize that you are one of the many that are not getting the appropriate treatment for your issues. Realize that your body and mind work together as one unit so need to be treated as one.

If you are a person who has been battling these issues, best to consult a pharmacist who specializes in compounding or a functional or integrative doc that will know the correct tests to be done.
