HOMEOPATHY FOR DEPRESSION

18-year-old girl

Came to see her doctor for a diagnosis of worsening depression. Apathy alternates with hyperarousal. She has a neurotic attachment to her boyfriend (unrequited youthful crush), believing she can't live without him. She sees herself as ugly, fat, and unattractive. "I'm worse than others" (objectively, she's sweet, attractive, and of normal weight). She is very preoccupied with having a perfect body and being beautiful. She alternates between food aversion and nervous bulimia.

  Desire for chocolate. There were suicide attempts after her parents forbade her from dating a boyfriend. Impulsive. Hysterical. Constantly cries. Screams. Wants to fit in. "Everyone's together, and I'm alone." High blood sugar. Gastritis. Cholecystitis. Ovarian cyst. Vegetative-vascular dystonia. 

The problem of lack of love has been going on since childhood. The girl lived with her grandmother, as her mother had a new husband, to whom she devoted almost all her attention. She experienced a lack of maternal love.

Analysis

The core of her situation is a lack of love and attention in childhood. She desperately needed it then and still does, trying to compensate with childhood attachment and dependence on her boyfriend. She felt like a rejected child. She is overcome with panic and fear when her boyfriend has to move. This is a theme of the Malvaceae family. A craving for chocolate, high blood sugar, and bulimia are confirmed by the medication.

Prescription: Chocolate 200, 5 grains once a week.

After 7 weeks.

No tears, no hysterics, and a good mood. She's lost 3 kilograms. Regarding her boyfriend, she says it's all in the past. "I realized we're different people." She's calm and confident. She's started exploring new creative outlets, taking classes, and has developed new interests.

A month later, her condition is stable and improving.

Chocolate

Feelings of loneliness, isolation, and inner emptiness. No connections with family or friends. Separated from the world. This is a child who didn't receive the attention and care they desperately needed in childhood. Instead of love and care, they receive chocolate and sweets. Insecurity and fear of rejection. "Who will love me? I'm the worst." Unable to accept rejection. There are two types of reactions: alienation, indifference to family and friends, and callousness. Or a childhood pathological dependence on someone, a desire for connection, and a dream of relationships. A panicky fear of rejection. A desire to be together, to connect with family and friends. A craving for sweets and chocolate.
