Depression and anxiety are one of the most common issues that patient seek medical attention. Often specific terms such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, Dysthymia, obsessive-compulsive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder are provided more as descriptive terms than diagnostic terms.
Conventional medicine will typically prescribe one or more of a number of antidepressant or antipsychotic medications to help patients deal with these symptoms. Seldom is any underlying cause sought out to help the patient improve.
