✨ You don’t need a mental health diagnosis to struggle with depression—OR to get relief from functional medicine ✨
There is a huge misconception that you need to be given an official diagnosis in order to get help with mood.
That may be true for medications, but when it comes to a functional health approach?
It’s just not true.
I’m seeing lots of people this time of year struggling with:
🔹 Feeling sad or hopeless
🔹 Negative thought patterns
🔹 Unable to get motivated
🔹 Snapping at loved ones
🔹 Easily irritated or angry
Or just generally feeling BLAH.
Here’s the thing:
The natural approach we take in our practice supports a healthy mood—whether that is your main concern or not!
I’m talking about correcting underlying biochemical patterns that disrupt mood by using simple strategies like:
🥦 Nutrition
👟 Exercise
💤 Sleep
😇 Stress Relief
💊 Supplements
Now this doesn't mean that we won't also use pharmaceutical medications when needed. It means that we look for the root cause first.
Watch for my upcoming posts because I’ll be taking a deep dive into little known causes of depression and what we can do about it. See you then 👀
