Finding Balance… A Holistic Approach to dealing with Depression

Case study of a 44-year old battling with Depression

LIFE BEFORE ATMANTAN

A 44-year-old female guest who was diagnosed with mild depression (for almost a year) came to Atmantan. Unhappy with how her life was panning out, she decided to seek a holistic respite and heal in the supportive embrace of Atmantan.

HEALING JOURNEY AT ATMANTAN

On the first day of her Doctor consultation, she had complaints citing reduced appetite, bloating, and disturbed sleep that was severely impacting the way she felt, thought and acted in her day-to-day life. 

According to her medical history, she had been on an antidepressant for about seven months, which helped boost the action of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, relaxing her nerves and improving the mood. 

After an in-depth consultation and diagnostic tests to measure her Autonomic Nervous system (ANS) functions, the guest was enrolled into the Holistic Health programme for a week, which would allow her to stay away from the spiral of negative thoughts and heal holistically in the right environment, under the expert guidance of the Atmantan Doctors. 

The diagnostic stress test for her showed reduced sympathetic tone and parasympathetic dominance which was causing an imbalance in the overall ANS functions… This portrayed a sedentary lifestyle, dipped energies and dispirited moods.  

She was prescribed healing sessions that included private meditation, Shirodhara, acupuncture, counselling and other therapeutic Yoga techniques to better manage depression, elevate mood, improve sleep quality and boost digestion.

To further enhance her wellness transformation, the guest was enrolled into activities such as TRX, circuit training, aqua fitness, Bollywood dancing, Kriya practices and group Yoga. These group classes in a community of like-minded people like herself provided her with an opportunity to strengthen her social involvement. Soon she started feeling a sense of empowerment gushing in, which was helping her take ownership of her transformation journey.

As for her meal plan she was prescribed an anti-inflammatory diet comprising alkaline juices to improve gut health and foods rich in minerals. She started relishing the calming foods on her everyday menu, as they were making her feel visibly relaxed!

The diet was also supplemented with Atmantan Naturals Relax Aid (to help balance the ANS functions, elevate the mood and cognitive health), Nutri Brain (to improve focus, brain functions, and reduce inflammation), Gut Revive (to repair and nourish the gut), Virgin Coconut Oil (for improved brain functioning and boosting the immune system), Natflam-6 (known for its anti-inflammatory effect) and Probio S.B.O (to seed beneficial gut bacteria and modulate serotonin expression in the brain).

HER TRANSFORMATION

Please Note: These results may vary depending upon body type and pre-conditions.

The end of the seven-day treatment showed impressive results and the guest was also able to successfully taper down some of the medications (and replace them with natural herbal supplements) under the guidance of our Doctors. 

There was a marked improvement in her quality of sleep, which made her more energetic throughout the day. Even her appetite had improved and her bloating had significantly reduced!

Most of all, her stress test (despite tapered medications) that had shown a reduced sympathetic tone and parasympathetic dominance on arrival, was now indicating a better balance in the ANS (in just a week)!

In fact, as per her, ‘life seemed more hopeful now’. With a positive outlook, she certainly felt ready to take on the world ‘one deep breath at a time’. Everyone at Atmantan applaud this guest for her openness and initiative to healing!
