When it comes to anxiety and depression, the biggest mistake we make is to view our body as being separate from our mind and emotions. Some of us will talk about these imbalances as a chemical issue. Or, if our personal experience or professional training is different, we may discuss it in the context of some kind of trauma. A drug or a ‘natural’ supplement might never heal an underlying emotional trauma whose repression has left you depressed. Years of counselling might not provide the nutrients needed to balance your adrenal function and the physiological aspects of anxiety. An integrated approach is usually imperative for long-term balance to be achieved.
