Again the usual question,

Can homeopathy help with mental health issues?

Yes, Of course ✅

But, what's mental health anyway?
According to WHO's definition:
' It is a state of well being in which every individual realises his/ her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to her/his community.
So many verbs in that statement: Realise, cope, produce, contribute.
But in simple words I guess it means, to enjoy life despite all it's challenges and be useful.

Now, you might find this next bit disturbing,
In March 2017, The Mental Health Foundation, NatCen, conducted a survey amongst it panel memebers in England, Scotland and Wales, and the results were literally sad 🙁
Out of 2290 people interviewed, nearly two third have experienced mental health problems. And only 13% of people were found to be living with high levels of positive mental health.

So these numbers prove that it's becoming more and more common to suffer from some sort of a psychological problem.

What are the types of mental health problems?

To mention some:
Anger
Anxiety and depression
Panic attacks
Body dystrophic disorders
Drugs, Recreational drugs, Alcohol abuse
Eating problems
Hearing voices
Loneliness ↔️ Mental health issues
Obsessive-compulsive disorders
Phobias
Sleep problems
And more

Again, can homeopathy help with all of the above disorders?
Yes it can.
And this article is all about that.
Our psychological well being is part of our general health. And since the aim of homeopathy is restoration of health, then all the problems that cause any kind of discomfort, be it physical, emotional or mental, can be addressed and treated homeopathically.

What does the homeopathic approach look like in relation to these psychological problems?

The approach is multidimensional: Understanding the individual's history ( including mother's pregnancy circumstances if possible), inquiring about the health of the parents and about any genetic predispositions to particular diseases,
Asking about the usual coping mechanisms of the patient, all that combined with current circumstances and complaints, which could be for example: Lack of sleep or indigestion or constipation...etc.
The sum of all these informations will lead the trained homeopath to a particular remedy,
And that will bring back the original state of health of the patient before his /her problem started.
A frequently asked question:

What if the patient is already under conventional/ other treatments?

My answer to that is:
Homeopathy will be able to work next to other therapies, until the patient will feel strong enough and well enough to discuss with their doctor/ GP to reduce the dose of their medications to avoid their side effects.
Homeopathy is the most gentle way of therapies. In some cases, some initial aggravation might occur which is always a good news, it means that the therapy is on the right track, but even then, the patient will feel a general and overall feeling of satisfaction and content 😌

If you or your loved ones are suffering from any mental illnesses, don't hesitate to ask for help and know that you're not a lone!
