Are Drugs the answer for Depression and ADHD?

Painting of Henriette BrowneThe increased frequency of these problems in our culture demands that we look beyond what pharmaceutical science has to offer. The use of more holistic therapies is not even mentioned in the article. In conventional medicine, diet, trauma, somatic imbalance, environmental and stress variables are not considered as co-causes. It saddens me that we’re not looking at—let alone treating—the causes of these conditions.

But some professionals do get it. In another article in the New York Times, Dr. Ronald Pies, a professor of psychiatry at Tufts and SUNY Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, comments on the depression diagnosis creating “a bogus epidemic of increasing depression.”

In my practice, I have seen many patients “cure” themselves of depression and ADHD using non-traditional therapies and lifestyle changes. It can be much like getting in shape: at first there is a lot of work and little benefit, but after awhile, the benefits are self-sustaining. The first step is to decide what model of depression you will use to define your condition, from there you can determine your next step.

As a former suffer of Asperger’s Syndrome, dyslexia and ADHD, my healing demonstrates you can go beyond medicating the symptoms to healing the condition(s). Many people will tell you these conditions are not curable, and they’re not—if you use pharmaceutical treatment. But sing bodywork, holistic nutrition, homeopathy, energy work such as acupuncture, and release of emotional trauma and stress, it is certainly possible to be “cured” of depression, bipolar disorder or ADHD.

  • Join us

    We created this blog to share the greatness of having “mental disabilities.” So often in this culture we focus on what doesn’t work – let’s focus on what works with being dyslexic and having Asperger’s Syndrome.

  • Let's help each other

    My goal, a man blessed with both dyslexia and Asperger’s, is to have this blog we are creating to be a reframe for dyslexia and Asperger’s and a resource. Hidden in our limitations are unique gifts – let’s share them.

  • Tell us your stories

    We learn from stories. Our parents told us fairy tales and myths not only to entrain us, but also to show us what was possible and how to achieve it. It is difficult to imagine what is possible if you have never seen it or heard about it. Share with us where you’ve been and how your journey transformed you. Tell us where you are and where you want to go.

    For over 30 years, I have worked with people as clients and students. Many have dyslexia or Asperger’s, all of them were unique. All of them were doing it their own way. All of them were succeeding. All of them were contributing to the planet.

    What are you doing? How are you doing it?
