Mood & Anxiety Disorders<\/h3>\n

When moving from the holistic health arena to the addiction treatment arena, I was shocked at how the addiction and dependency treatment centers do not look at hormonal imbalances as a cause for anxiety and depression.\u00a0 Most addiction clinics will look at which psychiatric medication is the best for the patient with no consideration of hormone imbalances.\u00a0 If they are \u201cholistic\u201d the clinic may look at the speed at which a liver breaks down the psychiatric medication.<\/p>\n

Managing Hormonal Issues with Anxiety and Depression Medications<\/h3>\n

Saying that mood and anxiety symptoms may be caused by hormonal imbalances in women is a little like stating the sky is blue.\u00a0 It is a \u201cno-brainer\u201d in the alternative functional medicine world.\u00a0 Both nervous system and hormonal imbalances can cause anxiety and depression.\u00a0 It can be one or the other, but usually both systems need to be addressed, especially with women.<\/p>\n

Many women still have anxiety and depression while on their psychiatric medications.\u00a0 Luckily in many cases the nervous system and hormonal imbalances can be addressed and resolved while still on the psychiatric medications.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hormones and Anxiety<\/h3>\n

Many patients that come into the office have an over stimulated nervous system or are in a state of sympathetic dominance.\u00a0 This causes the hormonal system to go into over drive as well.\u00a0 Calming down the nervous system is necessary in order to then regulate the hormonal system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anxiety and depression may be caused by many factors such as physical, mental, and\/or emotional.\u00a0 From clinical experience, I find generally anxiety has a strong physical component to it and depression has a strong emotional or belief system component to it.\u00a0 Many patients handle stress much better after correcting imbalances in the nervous system and hormonal system.\u00a0 Overwhelming temporary panic attacks can be resolved in some cases just by regulating the nervous system and hormonal system.<\/p>\n

Hormones and Depression<\/h3>\n

Again depression can be from physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional causes.\u00a0 Generally the physical component of depression may be caused by fatigue or low adrenals, which is part of the hormonal system. Vitamin deficiencies can also contribute to depression.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hormones and Alcohol Addiction<\/h3>\n

In some cases, binge drinking in women may be caused in part by hormonal imbalances in the body.\u00a0\u00a0 During the premenstrual part of the cycle, imbalances can cause emotional distress and increased drinking.\u00a0 Regulating the nervous system and hormonal system is usually required.<\/p>\n

For perimenopausal women, some may need to calm themselves with alcohol so that they can relax and unwind or go to sleep at night.\u00a0 If the nervous system and hormonal system were functioning correctly they would be able to wind down and sleep naturally without the need to self medicate with drugs or alcohol.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In most women both the nervous system and hormonal system need to be addressed and corrected to eliminate the need to self medicate with alcohol or drugs.<\/p>\n
