The Anxiety Antidote: How Homeopathy Changed My Life

Mrs. JLG, a 61-year-old female (Patient Pin - 43761), came to the Malleswaram clinic with daily episodes of anxiety issues, overcrowding of thoughts, feeling depressed without much reason, sleep disturbance, sometimes sleeplessness, palpitations, tremors of the whole body (especially lower extremities), and weakness. She was also a hypertensive patient.

She was on antidepressants, hypertension and sleeping pills (vortioxetine 5 mg, clonazepam + propranolol).

Anxiety neurosis, also known as anxiety disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by excessive and persistent feelings of anxiety, worry, and fear. These feelings can interfere with an individual's daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. People with anxiety neurosis may experience physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and nausea, as well as psychological symptoms like restlessness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

During the initial consultation, a comprehensive case history was taken, focusing on physical and mental state.

Physical generals:
The patient has an average appetite with no specific craving or aversion for any food. Her urinary function was normal, and bowel movements were also satisfactory. Her sleep was disturbed due to overthinking. Her dreams were of snakes and sometimes past incidents. She was also allergic to dust.

Family history and background:

She is a housewife and has 2 kids, and both reside in the USA.
She stays with her husband.

Her father had hypertension.

Mental generals:

She would get easily angry or irritated. All day and night, she keeps having negative thoughts as if something bad will always happen. 

After studying her detailed case history, Dr. Shah prescribed constitutional medicine SEPIA by Dr. Shah.

Follow-up:

After 2 months of medication on 14.7.2023, on the first follow-up itself, overall, 10%, she was better; her anger was reduced.

On 13.9.2023, again, the follow-up was taken. She was feeling better; weakness and anger came down, and her allopathic medications were completely stopped.

On 15.11.2023, there were no panic episodes seen since she started our medicines. There was a 50% improvement.

On 10.1.2024, she was overall better, the tremors in her legs while resting reduced. Her sleep pattern was improving.

On 4.5.2024, no complaints were seen; significant improvements were noticed.

On 28.8.2024, 75% improvement was seen; the patient had not been on allopathic medication for the past 1 year and is completely doing fine with no complaints.

On 24.12.2024, overall better; sleep occasionally interrupted; anger and anxiety have been reduced.

On 22.2.2025, there were no tremors; sleep quality improved. She is almost cured.

She thanked Dr. Shah and the entire Life Force for her treatment.

Conclusion:

A remarkable case study demonstrates the efficacy of homeopathic treatment in managing anxiety neurosis, allowing the patient to stop taking anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications. It also highlights the potential of homeopathy as a safe and effective treatment option for anxiety neurosis, offering a promising alternative for individuals seeking to minimize their reliance on conventional medications.
