A Highly Anxious Patient of 5 Years Chronic Anxiety Neurosis Finds Immense Relief With Homeopathy in Merely 9 Months
Anxiety can be described as a feeling of alarm or worry. It may be about something specific, or it may be non-specific. A certain level of anxiety is normal, helps improve our performance, and allows people to avoid dangerous situations. This normally lasts for a short period causing no impairment in social or occupational functioning. When this anxiety is prolonged and affects social or occupational functioning, it's abnormal and accounts for anxiety disorder.
Homeopathy has proven ways to manage anxiety with mild, natural, and gentle medicines without producing dependency and adverse effects. Here’s an anxiety neurosis case that found incredible relief with homeopathy.
A 33-year-old male patient (PIN: 47743) visited Life Force Homeopathy Kemp’s corner branch for the treatment of his complaints of anxiety neurosis. He was suffering from it for the last 5 years. The patient was so anxious that he used to change doctors quite often. He did not continue treatment with one doctor for more than 2 months. Hence, he never got relief from any of them. A detailed case history was taken and he was counseled to continue medicines for the long term. He started treatment on 27th March 2022.
The patient had a great fear of diseases. He was always in alert mode. He had a lot of negative thoughts. He was suffering from extreme restlessness and an inability to think clearly. Often, he was experiencing palpitation and sweating of the whole body. He often used to get irritable in small matters. He was already on Homeopathic medicines but they did not help him much.
Physical Generals:
The patient’s appetite was normal. He preferred eating sweets more than anything. He had no specific aversion to any foods or drinks. He had an average thirst for water. His sleep was often disturbed due to anxiety. His stool was hard and unsatisfactory. He had no issues related to the urine.
Psychological and Family Make-Up:
He was staying with his wife and 2 children. The patient was working as a cable internet provider. He was always stressed. The patient was very timid. He had the fear of heights and a fear to climb high places.
Self and Family’s Medical History:
He had no major illnesses in the past nor any family medical history was present.
At Life Force:
After studying the case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed his research-based homeopathic medicines to the patient.
Follow-Ups:
On the next day, the patient called and informed us that he does not want to continue medicines. He said that these medicines are increasing his symptoms and he is feeling worse. A lot of counseling was done for the patient. He was given assurance that Homeopathic medicines don’t have any side effects and explained to him that he has to be consistent with the medicines then only he will see improvement in relief. The patient finally agreed and continued taking medicines.
There was a drastic change seen in the first follow-up on 28th April 2022. His relief from the complaints started getting better now. Anxiety was still present but the frequency and intensity had reduced than before. His palpitation and restlessness were also less. He was very happy with the progress.
On 10th August 2022, the patient reported to us that he was further better. There was almost a 50% improvement seen with our homeopathic medicines. The frequency and duration of his anxiety episodes had reduced to a great extent. Just very mild palpitation occurred sometimes. His irritability and anger had reduced. The patient has started turning calmer now. He experienced an overall recovery with the medicines.
On 29th October 2022, the patient reported that he was further better now. His aggression had reduced to a great extent. He no more experienced anxious or restless feelings. He was able to perform his day-to-day activities without any anxiety. He had stopped taking all other medicines, and he was only on homeopathic medicines from Life Force.
On 14th January 2023, the patient informed us that he was perfectly fine now. There was no episode of anxiety bothering him. He no longer had any fear of disease which he had previously. The palpitation and restlessness were also no longer present bothering him. The patient was quite satisfied and happy with the treatment.
He thanked Dr. Shah and the whole Life Force team for treating him and improving his psychological and overall health. He finally realized that continuing treatment from one experienced doctor for the long term is important to get improvement in the relief from the illness. He is continuing treatment to get a complete recovery from his problem.
