Mental and Cognitive Disorders

According to homeopathy, the person is one dynamic, coordinated whole. The physical body, that works in alignment with the primitive brain (that controls most vital functions), is not just a collection of physical parts. Mental functions are an added superfunction that we all possess to different degrees. We function as one whole entity because all these systems influence one another. One can not dispute that a liver problem can not affect one’s memory, even if remotely.

The current medical science does not believe that mental and cognitive functions have anything to do with general physical health. An MRI may be performed to look for brain abnormalities, while the case is one of depression but appears to be one of dementia. An army of specialists is employed to look for a cause when no physical cause is to be found. In the process, the patient keeps suffering.

In homeopathy, the whole human being which is the physical body, the mind and the soul have to work in harmony to be healthy. And the living body continuously tries to maintain an equilibrium in order to survive. The body tries to minimize the damage caused by disease causing factors to itself. It produces symptoms as superficially as possible to prevent the deeper levels of functioning, vital to survival from being affected. If the body produces symptoms on deeper mental and cognitive function levels, it means that the disease causing influences were too strong for the body to preserve them.

Homeopathic treatment is aimed at improving the ability of the body to cope with disease-causing influences that may be physical, emotional or related to lifestyle.
