Many tools are utilized when working with patients who are struggling with anxiety and depression. Rather than focusing on medications to treat symptoms, naturopathic doctors strive to get the root cause, reviewing all aspects of a patient’s health. For example, if a patient’s digestion is poor, and he/she is suffering from chronic constipation and/or bloating, this can lead to anxious feelings, and even depression. With a naturopathic doctor for anxiety, other areas discussed may include hormones, stress, diet, exercise, and sleep. Researched, natural supplements, are prescribed to reduce symptoms and optimize health.
