Depression can cause your immune system to weaken.
1 of 5
Depression, much like any other mental illness, can cause physiological health problems as well. Depression can often cause your immune system to weaken as a result of a weakened cardiovascular system, leaving you significantly more vulnerable to infections and diseases. Depression causes your blood vessels to tighten, which weakens your cardiovascular system, leaving you vulnerable to a host of other problems such as stroke or heart attacks. Arsenicum album, Natrum Muriaticum and Lachesis Muta are some of the medications that homeopathic doctors are known to prescribe in such cases, depending on the specific variables of the case.

Clinical depression is accompanied by anxiety amongst many patients. When the psychological processes that are causing depression are rooted in feelings of excessive worry and feelings of inadequacy, homeopathic medicines such as Arsenicum album and Aurum Metallicum can be prescribed. Arsenicum album often helps relieve feelings of anxiety and inadequacy that are causing the problems while Aurum Metallicum has been known to help those who overwork themselves and relieve patients of suicidal thoughts.

Depression can be passed on genetically.
4 of 5
Not only can depression be passed down in the genes, but studies have shown that 40% of cases of clinical depression are caused due to genetic factors. Homeopathic remedies such as Staphysagria can be prescribed to people with a genetic predisposition to depressive disorders, when they feel low. Phosphoric acid can also be prescribed to such people in cases of depression wherein the patient develops feelings of apathy and indifference.
Children cannot suffer from clinical depression
5 of 5
Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety disorders are caused by chemical changes in the brain. Children are not only just as likely as adults to exhibit clinical depression due to stress or lifestyle changes, they are also susceptible to clinical depression due to genetic factors. Even infants have been known to exhibit signs of clinical depression in cases of separation anxiety. Natrum Muriaticum is a homeopathic medication that is considered safe for children. Also prescribed to adults, this homeopathic remedy is often used to treat depression that is rooted in anger issues or in grief at the death of a loved one.
