“I would say at least half the folks who are being treated with antidepressants aren’t benefiting from the active pharmacological effects of the drugs themselves but from a placebo effect,” says Steven Hollon, PhD, a psychology professor at Vanderbilt University who has conducted extensive research on the effectiveness of antidepressants. If people knew more, I think they would be a little less likely to go down the medication path than the psychosocial treatment path.(involving social and psychological behavior).

Craniosacral therapy is a deep and gentle drug-free approach to treating depression that considers the “whole person”. It is effective because the core of the body responds best to touch (and smell). Emotional appeals seldom work and it can’t be manipulated.
Treatments are designed to assist the body to return to a state of wholeness..
The link between mind, body and emotions (feelings) is recognised, so that physical and emotional concerns can be addressed.
