Anti-depressants Alternative, Banbury

The unholy alliance of the pharmaceutical industry and the medical profession would have us believe that there really is no alternative to the chemical cosh. Exagerated? Try asking your GP for a course of Acupuncture or Meridian Energy Therapy and see how far you get!

As a therapist I recommend what I think is in the best interest of my client, the medical profession do not even consider most solutions - only those solutions which co-incide with the interests of the pharmaceutical industry.

It is true that of late NICE has allowed the use of CBT for Depression within the NHS, not that CBT is necessarily the best way forward for most people suffering with depression. As an anti-depressant it is of limited use on its own, relying as it does on building upon logical conclusions.

Unfortunately, Depression often has a far higher emotional, or subjective, component than logical and simply will not respond to such inappropriate "treatment". In fairness to the GP, he has a limited armoury to bring to bear, once he has prescribed antidepressants or CBT he has nowhere else to go.

However, in the private sector we have a wide variety of more appropriate therapies, therapies without side effects, more natural therapies and where the therapy can be delivered according to the specific needs of the individual client, addressing their own unique requirements, a truly holistic approach.
