Case History
Mr. R O’H - Depression
Suffered from depression for all of his adult life. He had tried Western medicine, including two types of antidepressants, which gave terrible side effects. The symptoms of the depression were that he couldn’t sleep, eat, felt lethargic and became impotent. He fell into two bouts of serious depression where he thought about killing himself. He lost 6 kilos in weight and spent 15 months having only 3 hours sleep per night. He described himself as ‘zombie like’ at work and lost his job because of the depression and the effect it was having on his life and his ability to function normally In his own words, Mr. R O'H described himself as ‘a mess.’ The attitude he received from conventional doctors was: ‘if you can’t co-operate, then go away’
Mr. R O'H came to AcuMedic and immediately noticed a different attitude. He felt he was finally being understood and that his feelings were being taken into account. He was treated with herbal infusions and acupuncture. Within 2-3 days after initial treatment he felt he had more energy and was able to think more clearly than he had done in years. After 3-4 months of treatment he says he has benefited so much more than he ever did with Western medicine.
Mr. R O'H now says that his life has ‘opened up’ he is able to laugh and function normally for the first time in years. He continues his treatment at AcuMedic.
