David will discuss differential treatments for depression and anxiety using botanical and nutritional medicines

It seems almost everyone in our country is either depressed, anxious or both.We live in a very stress filled time and society and the mainstream solution is to take a pill or talk to a therapist. Both of these approaches can work, but what if you don't want to take an SSRI or anxiolytic medication or if orthodox therapies haven’t worked for you ?In some cases there are other options to help restore our emotional foundations and improve our psychological state.From a herbalist's perspective we understand that impaired mental health is more than an imbalance of neurochemicals and in this class we will discuss the more than 14 underlying causes of depression (inflammation-induced depression, GI-based depression, blood sugar dysregulation-induced depression, hormonal depression, etc) and 11 causes of anxiety, (thyroid-induced anxiety, GI-induced anxiety, old-age induced anxiety, etc) and how mild to moderate cases can be often be effectively helped using the appropriate herbs.The common misconception that St. Johns wort or any one herb is “the depression herb” is untrue and we will look at the specific indications of emotional dysfunction and the specific remedies to treat them.About DavidDavid Winston is an Herbalist and Ethnobotanist with 55 years of training in Chinese, Western/Eclectic and Southeastern herbal traditions.He has been in clinical practice for 48 years and is an herbal consultant to physicians, herbalists and researchers throughout the USA, Europe and Canada.David is the founder/director of the Herbal Therapeutics Research Library and the dean of David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies, a two-year training program in clinical herbal medicine. <a href="https://herbalstudies.net/" title="https://herbalstudies.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://herbalstudies.net/</a>In addition, David is a founding/professional member of the American Herbalist Guild, and he is on the American Botanical Council and the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia Advisory Boards.David has also published hundreds of articles in medical and botanical medicine journals and conference proceedings.
