Managing Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Homoeopathic Medicine

Abstract

Homoeopathy shows promise in managing Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) through individualized treatment based on symptom similarity. By utilizing repertorization, practitioners select specific remedies that match the patient's unique symptoms. This personalized approach can lead to significant improvements. The efficacy of homeopathic treatment for GAD has been evaluated using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), a widely recognized tool for measuring the severity of anxiety symptoms. Clinical observations suggest that patients experience notable reductions in anxiety levels following homeopathic treatment. The holistic nature of homeopathy, which considers physical, emotional, and psychological aspects, aligns well with the complex presentation of GAD, offering a complementary option to conventional treatments.
