Iboga retreat for depression

Understanding depression

💙 Depression is a common but serious mental health disorder 🧠 that negatively affects how a person feels 😔, thinks 🤯, and acts 🚶‍♂️.
‍
📖 Officially classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), its main symptoms include persistent feelings of sadness 😢, hopelessness 😞, emptiness 🕳️, and even a loss of interest 🎭 or pleasure 🎶 in previously enjoyable activities.
‍
⚠️ Some additional symptoms may include: ⬇️

Changes in sleep or appetite

Fatigue

Difficulty concentrating

Feelings of worthlessness or guilt

And in more severe cases, thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

‍Good to know: to be diagnosed with precision, these symptoms must persist for at least two weeks and significantly impact daily functioning. It means that if you have some of these symptoms for a few days only, it might just be a difficult period and not depression, but here an Iboga retreat depression will act as a preventive measure.  

‍As you understand it, depression is way more than a low mood. It can be described as a multifaceted condition affecting mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It origins: most of the time, depression comes from unresolved trauma, persistent stress, or imbalances in brain chemistry.

And this is where alternative approaches like plant medicine for mental health are interesting, as they address the root causes and are really sought after for their deeper healing potential.
