| Depression |
|
Depression is a condition that can exist in varying severities, from mild, moderate to severe. In order for someone to be diagnosed with depression, they need to show a range of symptoms over a period of time. People often talk about ‘being depressed’ if they are having a bad day, or are experiencing problems at work or home. While these kinds of challenges and difficulties are a normal part of life and can make us temporarily sad or stressed, these feelings should eventually pass on their own, without treatment.
Depression impacts on the way people feel, think and behave. Often people describe feeling helpless, hopeless and worthless. Thoughts become extremely negative and pessimistic, and this leads to withdrawal from other people and everyday activities. This pattern is often referred to as a ‘downward spiral of depression’ and helps to explain why it is so hard to lift yourself out of depression.

| Gnosticism |
|
Gnosticism consisted of various esoteric cosmologies and spiritual teachings which developed in the syncretic Hellenistic civilization in the centuries immediately after Christ. Divine powers called Aeons came from the unknowable Godhead. The Cosmos was the result of a pre-creation error or crisis and therefore evil; and the fall of the light – the essence of the spirit or divine soul – into the darkness of matter, where it remains trapped until liberated by saving knowledge

Homeopathic medicine is a clinical-pharmaceutical system that uses microdoses of substances derived from plants, minerals, or animals for the purposes of stimulating the natural healing response . Homeopathy is a therapeutic system founded on the principle “simila similibus curentur” translated as “like cures like.” Bach and other flower essences therapies use plant infusions to balance physical and emotional disturbances.
Homeopathy has special utility in five areas of clinical practice:
where no effective conventional treatment exists.
where conventional medicine may be unsafe.
where side effects of conventional medicines are unacceptable.
to reduce dependence on conventional treatments for chronic diseases.
promote primary prevention.

The term hypnotherapy denotes the use of hypnosis in a programme of therapy. Hypnosis in itself does not have a therapeutic value, but when it is used as part of another therapy it can be effective in treating a variety of conditions.
Broadly speaking, there are two distinct therapeutic uses for hypnotherapy. First, it can be of use in helping people control, alleviate or overcome particular symptoms or conditions. Secondly, it can be used to help people gain insight into problems which may underlie their symptoms, such as hidden fears, repressed feelings, and emotional conflicts.
For example, a hypnotherapist may treat a patient complaining of migraine headaches with techniques of relaxation and pain relief, using direct therapeutic suggestions and teaching self-hypnosis; or the therapist may explore whether the migraine is a symptom of some underlying difficulty - perhaps unexpressed anger - which the therapist will help the client to acknowledge and resolve.
