Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression often go together and western medicine also seeks to treat both with many different pharmaceuticals. Patients who come to Dr. Patterson with anxiety or depression or both, often have been through many other doctors with no success in it being treated or cured. Dr. Patterson doesn’t claim to cure anyone, but he does work to clear the negative energies that could be causing the patient to present with anxiety and depression.

There are many theories behind the reasons why people get anxiety and depression. A big theory is involved with the idea of not having enough serotonin in the brain, or serotonin reabsorption is too great. This is the reasoning behind medical doctors prescribing SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor’s).

Sometimes doctors in general forget that serotonin, along with many other neurotransmitters in the brain are primarily produced in the gut. Due to this, Dr. Patterson with his knowledge in functional medicine, may look into your diet, or prescribe herbal and nutritional supplementation to aid in your ability to assimilate and digest your nutrition. Proteins are the basic building blocks in the production of neurotransmitters in the gut.

Anxiety and depression may be an inherited imbalance running in the family down the generational line. With the aid of muscle testing, Dr. Patterson can identify if an imbalance is inherited and work with you to clear it!

Where we put our intention is where our energy goes; and if we can intend to change, then we can change our very being, even our nervous system and our DNA! It is our DNA in specific organs, having specific cells, that perform specific tasks which in turn produce specific proteins that are designed to meet our needs and our wants. Yes, our wants as well! If we have a subconscious program or negative belief system that we are holding onto, we can create proteins from our genes, or stop producing proteins from our genes, to fulfill that program or belief. People sometimes call this, “self fulfilling prophecies.”
