A Proven, Drug-Free Alternative to Antidepressants
Antidepressants are everywhere these days, and it’s no wonder: Depression among adults in the United States tripled in the early months of the COVID pandemic. And new research shows that this only increased in 2021, with depression affecting one in every three American adults. However, when it comes to treating depression, what works for one person may not work for another. And while the right antidepressant can be a lifesaver for many people, it’s also important to understand that medication is not the complete answer when treating depression or anxiety. In fact, many people find that antidepressants aren’t working as they’d hoped, despite trying multiple different medications. Moreover, the more combinations of these drugs some people try, the less likely they will respond positively. … [Read more...] about A Proven, Drug-Free Alternative to Antidepressants

We are nine months in to the COVID-19 pandemic and every news source is reporting unprecedented spikes of cases in the United States. This begs the questions: Is there ever going to be an end in sight? Will life ever return to “normal?” Yes, things will eventually get better, but it's likely going to take a long while. Even if you are mentally healthy, just watching the news can invoke feelings of anxiety and depression. Other events in 2020 have also contributed to the chaos. Divisiveness and upheaval also dominate the news. 2020 has been like nothing we’ve ever seen before in our lifetimes, and mental health conditions are on the rise. People who already struggle with mental health are noticing worsening symptoms as well.
