Homeopathy and Mental Health Disorders | Solh Wellness

Homeopathy is an alternative medicine that prioritizes natural remedies to support the body's healing process. It was founded in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. The fundamental principle of homeopathy is "like cures like," which means that substances that can cause symptoms in a healthy person are used to treat similar symptoms in an afflicted person. Homeopathic remedies are derived from organic sources, such as plants and minerals, and are highly diluted to enhance their potency while reducing potential side effects. Many individuals around the world have turned to homeopathy for various conditions, including allergies, asthma, migraines, and mental health disorders such as depression.

Correlation between Mental Health and Homeopathy

Homeopathy lies in its holistic approach to healing. It aims to restore overall health by addressing the root cause of a patient's symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are selected based on the individual's unique symptoms and susceptibility, making it a personalized form of treatment. For mental health problems, specific homeopathic remedies can be chosen based on the cause and specific symptoms of the patient. Common mental health disorders that may benefit from homeopathy include: 

Unexplained anxiety.

Withdrawal from normal activities and social interactions due to depression.

Low self-esteem and confidence.

Sudden and unexplained mood changes.

Rude or aggressive behavior without clear reasons.

Physical symptoms without apparent physical causes (psychosomatic disorders).

Homeopathy Treatment for Adult and Children

Homeopathy treatment for mental health can vary according to age groups. 

For children, homeopathy offers personalized treatment plans based on the child's unique circumstances and symptoms, making it safe and effective for conditions such as anxiety disorder, autism, ADHD, eating disorders, and more. Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances and are free from harmful side effects, making them suitable for children.

For adults, homeopathy offers several benefits for mental health. It takes a holistic approach, considering the entire person, including their emotional and mental state, rather than just treating isolated symptoms. This personalized approach can help address the underlying causes of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress that are commonly faced by modern adults.

Benefits of Homeopathy

The benefits of homeopathy include its effectiveness in treating mental and emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia, with results comparable to antidepressants and better than placebos.

Homeopathy is safe and effective for a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional conditions when used appropriately. 

It offers a holistic approach to healing, addressing the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms.

 Homeopathic remedies are tailored to each individual's needs, providing a personalized treatment approach. 

Moreover, homeopathy is a natural, non-invasive alternative to traditional medical treatments, offering a valuable option for those seeking a drug-free approach to healing.

I'm a very big fan of when specialists debunk crap online because it's ineffective or dangerous.

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

My boyfriends entire family has always been neck deep into the homeopathic remedies. I suppose they had a bad time with the traditional vaccines and were convinced that all their illnesses came from those vax. I was talking to him about it a little because he went off on something about how the medicine can even cure suicidal tendencies...LOL his argument against it was "Well it couldnt be placebo because, placebo only works if the person believes the medication to work and wants it to work. And, do people with suicidal tendencies actually want it to work? But yet it still does." ???Coincidentally, the entire family is Christian... I almost feel bad for whoever gets trapped in the clutches of this stupid scam because its predatory almost. On some level I guess I can kind of see some plausibility for something like a rash or something topical maybe, but its bonkers how they think fucking Belladonna and alcohol dilution is the cure all substance for Schizophrenia!! Taking a known poisonous plant that causes hallucinations and delusional thinking (yk, cause its poisonous) and mixing it with alcohol and water, so much to the point of where there is hardly any plant substance left, comical as hell. But I guess "like cures like" or whatever.

Some aspects of homeopathy do seem to dovetail closely with religious faith healing. Magical thinking about anointing with oils and magical thinking about "water memory" are not far apart.

Other aspects of it seem to line up with that granola "all natural," "chemical free" mentality. So it seems like the kind of scam that appeals to people of many different stripes.

On placebos, you should show him the below. This study was particular to IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) specifically because it's a subjective ailment (versus, say, tumors that objectively exist and are measurable). The authors admit it needs further study to see how applicable this is to other conditions.

The problem with homeopathy is, of course, not that it's a placebo - it's just plain lucky that it is when they're using Belladonna. It's that they lie about it not being a placebo. They're lying about it, selling it as real medicine, complete with real medicine price tag rather than sugar/water price tag, when it's not.

Introduction

Placebo treatment can have a significant impact on subjective complaints.  Furthermore, recent studies have shown measurable physiological changes in response to placebo treatment that could explain how placebos alter symptoms.  A critical question is establishing how physicians and other providers can take optimal advantage of placebo effects consistent with their responsibility to foster patient trust and obtain informed consent. Directly harnessing placebo effects in a clinical setting has been problematic because of a widespread belief that beneficial responses to placebo treatment require concealment or deception. This belief creates an ethical conundrum: to be beneficial in clinical practice placebos require deception but this violates the ethical principles of respect for patient autonomy and informed consent. In the clinical setting, prevalent ethical norms emphasize that “the use of a placebo without the patient's knowledge may undermine trust, compromise the patient-physician relationship, and result in medical harm to the patient.” Nevertheless, a recent national survey of internists and rheumatologists in the US found that while only small numbers of US physicians surreptitiously use inert placebo pills and injections, approximately 50% prescribe medications that they consider to have no specific effect on patients' conditions and are used solely as placebos (sometimes called “impure placebos.”) Many other studies confirm this finding. Given this situation, finding effective means of harnessing placebo responses in clinical practice without deception is a high priority.

[..]

The objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of recruiting IBS patients to participate in a trial of open-label placebo and to assess whether an open-label placebo pill with a persuasive rationale was more effective than no-treatment in relieving symptoms of IBS in the setting of matched patient-provider interactions.

Design

A three week randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing open-label placebo to no-treatment controls was conducted between August 2009 and April 2010 in a single academic medical center. Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to participation on the study. The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Institutional Review Board approved the design and informed consent.

Patients who gave informed consent and fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized into two groups: 1) placebo pill twice daily or 2) no-treatment. Before randomization and during the screening, the placebo pills were truthfully described as inert or inactive pills, like sugar pills, without any medication in it. Additionally, patients were told that “placebo pills, something like sugar pills, have been shown in rigorous clinical testing to produce significant mind-body self-healing processes.” The patient-provider relationship and contact time was similar in both groups.

Two-group, randomized, controlled three week trial (August 2009-April 2010) conducted at a single academic center, involving 80 primarily female (70%) patients, mean age 47±18 with IBS diagnosed by Rome III criteria and with a score ≥150 on the IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS). Patients were randomized to either open-label placebo pills presented as “placebo pills made of an inert substance, like sugar pills, that have been shown in clinical studies to produce significant improvement in IBS symptoms through mind-body self-healing processes” or no-treatment controls with the same quality of interaction with providers. The primary outcome was IBS Global Improvement Scale (IBS-GIS). Secondary measures were IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS), IBS Adequate Relief (IBS-AR) and IBS Quality of Life (IBS-QoL).

[..]

Discussion

We found that patients given open-label placebo in the context of a supportive patient-practitioner relationship and a persuasive rationale had clinically meaningful symptom improvement that was significantly better than a no-treatment control group with matched patient-provider interaction. To our knowledge, this is the first RCT comparing open-label placebo to a no-treatment control. Previous studies of the effects of open-label placebo treatment either failed to include no-treatment controls [27] or combined it with active drug treatment. [28] Our study suggests that openly described inert interventions when delivered with a plausible rationale can produce placebo responses reflecting symptomatic improvements without deception or concealment.

Our results challenge “the conventional wisdom” that placebo effects require “intentional ignorance.” [29] Our data suggest that harnessing placebo effects without deception is possible in the context of 1) an accurate description of what is known about placebo effects, 2) encouragement to suspend disbelief, 3) instructions that foster a positive but realistic expectancy, and 4) directions to adhere to the medical ritual of pill taking. It is likely our study also benefited from ongoing media attention giving credence to powerful placebo effects.

Both treatment arms were given in a context of a warm patient-provider relationship. It is possible that this relationship had a positive benefit for the patients, and indeed, the no-treatment arm showed improvement. Given that patients in both treatment arms experienced the same frequency and duration of contact time and the content of the interaction was very similar, we believe that the incremental improvement in our open-label arm was due to the addition of open-label placebo treatment. The magnitude of improvement reported by those on open-label placebo treatment was not only statistically significant but also clinically meaningful.

[..]

In summary, our study suggests that patients are willing to take open-label placebos and that such a treatment may have salubrious effects. Further research is warranted in IBS and perhaps other illnesses to confirm that placebo treatments can be beneficial when provided openly and to determine the best methods for administering such treatments.

It doesn’t work. When tested under rigorous conditions – when neither the patient nor the doctor knows whether they’re using homeopathy or not until all of the tests are done – homeopathy has shown to work no better than a sugar pill. That doesn’t mean people do not feel better after taking homeopathy; only that those feelings aren’t related to the homeopathy. This is known as the placebo effect and is often misunderstood. Conventional medicine also has a placebo effect, on top of its other benefits. The choice between medicine and homeopathy comes down to a simple question: would you have a placebo, or a placebo plus a treatment that has been proven to work?

It couldn’t work. The theoretical principles that underpin homeopathy lack any scientific credibility and the so-called ‘laws of homeopathy’ do not tally with anything we know about the world around us. Only a basic understanding of chemistry is needed to demonstrate that that homeopathic tinctures can only be plain water. For more on the theory behind homeopathy, see our What is Homeopathy page.

It’s a waste of your money. The homeopathy industry is worth around £40million in the UK, and around €400million in both France and Germany. While this may seem small compared to the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical medicines are required to show clinical effectiveness before they are licensed for sale. Homeopathy bears no such requirements and £40million is a lot of money to spend on something that you haven’t proved works. Homeopathic pills are being sold at a cost of around £5.95 for less than 20g of sugar pills. Without any active ingredient, that ultimately amounts to a lot of money for not a lot of sugar.

It’s a waste of everyone’s money. In the UK, the NHS spends an estimated £4million every year on homeopathy. The British government also supports four Homeopathic Hospitals using taxpayers money, in Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool and London. The evidence is very clear: homeopathy does not work and therefore has no place within the National Health Service. Despite the recent heavy cuts in public expenditure, the British government still refuses to cut funding for homeopathy, even when advised to do so by top scientists.

It’s a waste of your time. When homeopathy is accepted as a viable alternative to medicine, patients waste time taking useless pills and potions instead of seeking expert medical attention. For mild ailments, like a cough or a cold, the risks are minimal; but for patients with more severe conditions, time can be a significant factor in their recovery. Many homeopaths even directly encourage patients to wait before seeking medical attention, even when their condition deteriorates, claiming that worsening symptoms are a sign their potions are working. Moreover, patients with terminal conditions are left with an unrealistic view of their condition and may be distracted from making the most of the time they have left. This ultimately leads to more heartache and suffering when the bogus treatment proves futile.

It’s a waste of everyone’s time. Thousands of studies have been conducted into the effectiveness of homeopathy and its various ‘laws’. So far, none reliably shown homeopathy to be effective and most are conclusively negative. Any conventional treatment with a similar track record would have been dropped a long time ago. In fact, many treatments have been dropped, even with a stronger evidence base than exists for homeopathy. If we weren’t wasting time proving, yet again, that homeopathy doesn’t work, we could be looking for treatments that do.

There are alternatives to this alternative. The thing about homeopathy is, we don’t need it. Medicine works. Diseases like measles, whooping cough and polio are effectively prevented by vaccination. Modern anti-retroviral drugs help HIV sufferers manage their condition so effectively that AIDS is no longer the death sentence it once was. Homeopaths offer bogus ‘cures’ for AIDS, which leads to vulnerable people, sick to death, paying for the privilege.

It’s not what it says on the label. Buy a vial of 30C homeopathic sulphur at your local pharmacy and one thing you can be sure you won’t find in the bottle is any sulphur. You have significantly more chance of winning a triple rollover on the lottery than you have of finding even a single atom of sulphur in that tube; but the label still reads ‘Sulphur’.

It detracts from medicine. Giving legitimacy to unproven and ineffective treatments does not come without a cost. The cost of allowing the promotion of homeopathy as an ‘alternative’ to medicine comes when patients are unable to distinguish between a self-limiting condition which will cure itself given time, and a more serious illness which will become life-threatening if incorrectly treated. Stories of people abandoning medicine in favour of quack cures, with disastrous results, are not hard to find. By allowing the promotion of a therapy proven to be ineffective and implausible, we encourage people to turn their back on the treatments that can help them.

It has abused its placebo privileges. From time to time, it’s understandable that a simple-to-administer placebo treatment might carry some benefit for doctors, where no medical intervention has a particular, proven effectiveness. In these scenarios, it could be argued that homeopathy might have had a role to play, providing a harm-free, effect-free placebo to help manage the otherwise unmanageable. However, homeopaths abuse this minor level of legitimacy to make claims about conditions the placebo effect could not possible treat. Cancer, HIV, malaria, yellow fever, autism, tuberculosis. They discourage people from seeking medical help when they most need it. It’s time to stop lending support to quackery; time to give people the facts about this 200-year-old snake oil, before they choose to use it instead of the ever-improving and reliable interventions of modern medicine.
