Millions of people are affected by mood disorders.

While pharmaceuticals are a viable and often necessary option, there are effective and natural ways to aid in the treatment of many mood disorders. 

Depression alone affects nearly 300 million people around the world and unfortunately, this is only the number of people who are diagnosed.  (Born, 2020)  Pharmaceutical medications for mood disorders typically come with an extensive list of side effects. These side effects are often so unbearable for the patient that they may opt to suffer with their mental illness rather than take medication.

Each patients' diagnosis is different and it important to understand the individual.  By understanding risk factors that impact the patients mood disorder it can better help to provide the best treatment protocol.  Factors such as degree of self-criticism,  family history, substance abuse and/or history of traumatic and stressful events are all necessary to take into consideration. 

An integrative approach to mood disorder works well and usually includes lifestyle and dietary modification, constitutional homeopathy, botanical medicines, nutraceuticals, psychotherapy.  (Born, 2020) These interventions can all be utilized in conjunction with pharmaceuticals if necessary.
