DEPRESSION / ANXIETY

	The most common complaints we see in clinic are those of severe fatigue, depression or anxiety and insomnia.  These symptoms are always signs of the underlying imbalances happening in the nervous system and systems of the body as a whole.  Most clients will have included in their description of symptoms one or more of the following:
		Depression Addiction and Cravings Anxiety Anger Fear	Chronic Fatigue Unresolved sadness Worry and Apprehension Insomnia

We know that lifestyle choices have a strong bearing upon the health and well being of the mental (neurological/brain function) aspects of the body.  These include past psychological experiences (how someone sees the world), present and past situational stress, nutritional imbalances, genetic potential, chronic illness, long-term medication, misuse of alcohol and drugs, and physical trauma.  Over time these often lead to the breakdown of communication and imbalance of neurotransmitters.  Neurotransmitters are chemicals located and released in the brain to allow an impulse from one nerve cell to pass to another never cell.  Every neurotransmitter can directly or indirectly influence neurons in a specific portion of the brain, thereby affecting feelings, behavior, and sleep patterns.

In depression, which afflicts about 3.5% of the population, there appears to be abnormal, excess, or inhibition of signals that control mood, thoughts, pain and other sensations.  In mainstream medicine, depression is usually treated through antidepressants to help correct the abnormal neurotransmitter activity, but with a plethora of negative side-effects and even potential psychosis which has led to many unneeded deaths in this country.

There are many neurodegenerative processes in the body that led to the imbalance of neurotransmitters and many different needs of each individual situation.  Through evaluation and testing, Infinite Wellness establishes each individual’s required lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplementation needed to safely and effectively restore the neurotransmitters naturally.  All treatment plans are developed so that they safely compliment any prescribed medications that you may be taking.

“I am 32 years old and had been struggling with depression for two years.  Even though I had been taking several different antidepressant drugs, I continued to feel as if I struggled just to get up and face my day.  I was tired all day, could not sleep at night, and looked forward to nothing.  On the medications I gained 25 pounds and lost my sex drive.  I struggled to lose weight and had extreme cravings for sweets.  Seeing Sabrina changed my life.  After 2 months of treatment I could actually sleep and my cravings were cut in half.  After 4 months I was off both of my medications and was finding joy in my life again and the energy to exercise again.  After 5 months I have lost 18 pounds, have energy all day and finally feel like I am living, not surviving.  It was definitely a lot of lifestyle changes and commitment to taking the supplements.  It was worth it to have my life back.”

“I have been ill since the spring of 1993. I spent many years going to the doctor, spending countless hours worrying and taking tests. All the tests came back normal. Normal how can I be normal, dizzy, pain throughout my whole body, anxiety, heart burn that could bring down an elephant. Not to mention the extreme fatigue and migraine headaches, and the inability to sleep. Finally in 1999 I had a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Non of the treatment from traditional doctors gave me relief physically or emotionally. I began going to Sabrina Maiden in the summer of 2002 and felt relief from my symptoms that very evening. I was able to sleep more than my usual 2 hours per night. She has given me my life back. I am no longer worried and selfishly always thinking of my self. Not only do I feel better physically but Sabrina listens and gives you validation and sound advice about your issues. Please seek her out if you have any physical, emotional, or medical problems. She will give you piece of mind.”

“Sabrina,

When I first came to you, I was not feeling at my best. I was fatigued, sleeping badly, lack of concentration. I did not want to be on any heavy duty medications, and an acquaintance referred me to you who said you were very knowledgeable and able to help. Since seeing you for the last several months I have been feeling well, and getting better all the time. I regret not going to you sooner.

I was also suffering from hair loss. Of course with the powder I was given it helped restore some of the hair loss. I am still on the program and will continue to do so. Thanks Sabrina”
