W ORLDWIDE, DEPRESSION IS spreading like a modern-day plague. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports 1.7 billion people worldwide suffer from this mental illness; of those, more than 90 million are Americans.

Regrettably, a large percentage does not receive appropriate mental health treatment, leading to widespread loss of function and drive. According to the Geneva World Health Organization,

Something needs to change, and quickly, or these statistics will only continue to worsen as more and more people fall victim to the pervasive, crippling effects of depression and its related symptoms. Traditional treatment therapies are clearly insufficient to the task; if they were, we would not be seeing such a steep increase in life-changing symptoms, violent and suicidal behaviors, and death. In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that the widespread use of antidepressants and psychotic medication have contributed to this trend.

As you make your way through this book, you will learn about the different types of mental, physical and emotional imbalances that occur as a result of depressive mental illnesses.

You will also discover methods for normalizing both acute and chronic depressive symptoms and in doing so, you will be amazed at the number of related health complaints that diminish or disappear altogether with the management of your depression. People suffering with mood disorders are never without a collection of other complaints, such as fatigue, exhaustion, weight gain or loss, cognition impairment, insomnia, sugar reregulation problems, cholesterol imbalance, heart and circulation irregularities and sexual dysfunctionto name just a few.

This is because a healthy mind leads to a healthy bodyand vice versa. When the mind is out of balance, the body will follow suit, leading to the laundry list of concurrent ailments described above. When the body spends a protracted period of time functioning at lower than normal levels, our system becomes nutrient-poor, or polluted; we dont have the energy and materials we need to perform normal bodily functions. This in turn builds a platform for disease and emotional imbalance, leading to the development of unwanted symptoms and illnesses, all of which are in turn supported by malnutrition and poor lifestyle choices resulting from a lack of drive to do better. This creates a vicious cycle, from which true escape can be challenging.

For a problem this complex and interconnected, there can be no magic pill! All aspects of a depressive disorder and its other health problems must be addressed; it is not enough to simply treat anxiety or a psychotic episode with mind-numbing drugs.

Within the pages of this book you will find natural, effective solutions to a myriad of complications surrounding depressive disorders. These remedies are provided with only one goal in mindreturning you to your whole, productive, happy self. In fact, you should expect to feel better than ever beforea return to an even happier self than before your first depressive symptoms were realized.

When embarking on the path less traveled, it is important to have faith in your own guidance system. Be patient; allow your body the time it needs to reinvent itself and embrace unfamiliar territory. Take the time to learn about the different types of integrative medicine showcased in this book, as well as complementary therapies and your bodys biochemical nutrient requirements.
