[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I am new to this group, so let me introduce myself and tell you a bit

about me. I am Sheri, a single mother of three plus my nephew. I just

returned to school last semester after 15 years. I am majoring in

psychology. I would also like to study holistic medicine and

incorporate it into my career. I have just recently discovered

holistic healing and don't know much about it. A friend recommended

this e group, so I joined. I have found the emails very interesting

and do appreciate the information I've gotten from the group.

Now I have a question I hope you can help me with. I am doing a

research paper for my abnormal psych class, and was wondering if any

of you could recommend research material on the subject? My topic is

Dysthymia: a mild, long lasting form of depression. The object of my

paper is to define, explain how to diagnos, traditional treatment and

alternative treatments, focusing mainly on the alternatives.

If you can offer any helpful websites or books on the subject, I

would really appreciate any help.

 

Thank you,

 

Sheri

Hi Sheri,

 

try these websites...they are search engines of medical literature databases

that will be very good for finding information on the 'traditional'

treatments and diagnosis. (Although dysthmia is a psychological disorder the

traditional treatment is unfortunately very medicalised)You can use the

filters 'treatment' and 'diagnosis' to help you with this. They may also

give you information about some alternative medical treatments such as St

John Worts and the more common psychological therapies such as CBT.

Hi Sheri,

 

One book that is really great is " Natural Healing for Schizophrenia &

Other Common Mental Disorders " by Eva Edelman (it covers much more

than schizophrenia):

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0965097668/qid=928447893/sr=1-1

/002-6044912-0232652 I

 

I also was given the following resources by someone:

<<http://www.speakeasy.org/~wma Well Mind Assoc. located in Seattle,

WA has a newsletter that's fabulous and has office hours to call and

get info.

 

3) http://www.hriptc.org This is a nonprofit clinic that does the

lab work, medical exams and followup to naturally cure behavioral

problems, violence, schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. They have the

Biggest database on behavior in the world>>

 

There are Energy Psychology practitioners of Eye Movement

Desensitization (EMDR), Thought Field Therapy (TFT), Voice Therapy

(VT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Callahan Techniques, etc.

There is neurobiofeedback. There is electromedicine (which includes

things like the BT-6, the Hulda Clark zapper, Cranial Magnetic

Stimulation (CMS), there is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS),

etc. Just plug in some of these terms into a search engine like

www.hotbot.com and start reading.

 

Best wishes,
