PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS

Like physical disorders, psychiatric disorders are nothing but outwardly reflected picture of an internal derangement. These symptoms are ways in which our body communicates with us to tell he is suffering. Psychiatric disorders is not just a labelled disease but it is a journey of sufferings that the patient is going through. So instead of labelled disease, it is important to consider patient as a whole who is suffering from the disease.

Conventional medicines masks the symptoms of the disease, fooling the body that it is cured of the disease. Suppressing these symptoms does nothing to cure the disease, rather it pushes the disease deeper & reduces the inmate power of the body to overcome it.

Homeopathy believes in treating the patient as a whole rather than treating the disease. No two persons are same, so medicines also differ even though both are suffering from the same disease. These differences are based on their constitution, temperament, behavior, history of suppression, past history of trauma, environmental factors etc.

Homeopathic treatment offers a gentle and safe approach to psychiatric diseases.
