Stress Management and Emotional Wellbeing

Mental health is an escalating health issue with now 10% of the population suffering from depression.  Other mental illness such as – eating disorders, insomnias, alcoholism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s are also increasing in prevalence.

Depression and mental illness often interferes with normal functioning and can cause pain and suffering not only to those with the disorder but also those who care for them.  Mental illness like any disease progression can be caused by a combination of nutritional, hormonal, environmental and hereditary factors, and because mental illness and depression can have varied causative pathways likewise it is vital that treatment protocols are individualised.

Many people with mental and depressive illness do not seek treatment which is unfortunate as the nervous system like every other body system will often need attention and nourishment.  Thanks to years of scientific research there are now reliable diagnostic investigations, natural medications and psychological therapies that have proven successful in the treatment on mental illness. 

At Darling Street Health Centre we have naturopathic practitioners willing and experienced to help explore underlying causes and issues surrounding depression and mental illness.  These practitioners work alongside a very experienced psychologist with the intention of treatment to move beyond simply the management of symptoms to true healing and nourishment of the nervous system.
