depression issues cont

[Guest guest]

Hi Gerald -

 

Interestinly, ppd and ppmds after birth respond more powerfully to the physical

treatment/care - because of the openness of the psychophysiology and guided by

the heart's openness. Just saw this cross post on a not very active group,

reminders on more of the broad scope of discussion needed. I am fascinated also

by how you can just look at the package inserts for the SSRIs and see how the

side effect risks exacerbate vata and pitta, even while they tend cover up the

ability to feel emotionally, where sits the presenting reason for taking. Those

covered up emotions are still being caused by - particularly postpartum - the

high vata (and pitta).

the attitude of the entire family. (Chase)

 

Interesting what you report about

* No one has any idea of all the possible actions of serotonin...

 

nonetheless, Dr. Ann Blake Tracey and others have made significant work in this

arena, helping to understand the chemistry of these meds and their side effects.

 

and how ayurveda so easily identfies and balances many of the negative thought

patterns with related dosha and guna understandings as causative and corrective

level value. A mother's heart, given the chance to not feel so divided, is

naturally very full with her baby. Crisis conditions, past life, spiritual,

other drug related - these too of course can have their part. Jyotish astrology

helps identify the role of this kind of thing.
