Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and Depression are symptoms we often shy away from talking about. We shouldn’t! There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Natural Medicine Center cares for thousands of individuals every year and many of our clients struggle with these symptoms. You are not alone. We can help.
Most people feel anxious or depressed at times. Life situations such as losing a loved one, getting fired from a job, going through a divorce, and other difficult situations can lead a person to feel sad, lonely, scared, nervous, or anxious. These feelings are normal reactions to life’s stressors.
Some people experience these feelings daily or nearly daily for no apparent reason, making it difficult to carry on with normal, everyday functioning. These people may have an anxiety disorder, depression, or both.
It is not uncommon for someone with an anxiety disorder to also suffer from depression or vice versa. Nearly one-half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. The good news is that these disorders are both treatable, separately and together.
For some, restoring their mood is as simple as eliminating the physical pain that is frustrating the individual. This is something we specialize in this at the Natural Medicine Center of Lakeland (NMC). For others who struggle with clinical depression, anxiety or compulsive disorders, the challenge may be greater to treat. Rest assured that NMC is eager to help you overcome these challenges through:
- Acupuncture
- Massage
- Hormone therapy
- Nutrition
- Professional mental health counseling
- Prescription Drug counseling
Understanding the facts of anxiety and depression is a great first step.
