My wife is suffering from severe depression since last 3 years. We have consulted 2-3 doctors earlier but no significant imrpovement. She keeps on worrying all the time and finds ways to cry or remain sad. Pl advise what to do. Currently she is under treatment with Dexanil forte, Nasdep 15, zolfresh, naxdom.
We need to adress the root cause of depression. Along with that we need to prescribe medication which will act on damaged parts of your body and give strength and clarity to her heart.
I’m really sorry to hear about your wife’s condition. Living with long-term depression can be very distressing—for both the patient and the family. The fact that you are actively seeking help for her is very important and appreciated.
Based on what you’ve described, this appears to be Major Depressive Disorder, especially since it has been ongoing for 3 years with persistent sadness, excessive worrying, and crying spells
She is already on medications like:
Dexanil forte
Nasdep 15
Zolfresh
Naxdom
These include antidepressants, anti-anxiety, and sleep medications, which means she is under psychiatric care.
Do NOT stop or change these medicines suddenly without consulting her treating psychiatrist.
Why she may not be improving fully:
Depression sometimes needs time and dose adjustments
Underlying emotional triggers or suppressed stress may still be unresolved
Sleep disturbance can slow recovery
Some cases require a combination of therapy + medication
What can help further:
Psychological support (very important)
Counselling / psychotherapy (like CBT) is essential along with medicines
Helps her process thoughts, reduce negative patterns, and regain control
Role of Homeopathy:
Homeopathy can be very helpful as a supportive treatment in chronic depression by:
Addressing root emotional causes
Reducing persistent sadness, fears, and overthinking
Improving sleep and mental stability
Remedies are selected based on personality and emotional state, such as:
Ignatia – for grief, emotional sensitivity
Natrum Mur – for silent suffering, suppressed emotions
Aurum Met – for deep hopelessness
However, these should be taken only after detailed case analysis.
Family support (very powerful)
Avoid telling her to “be strong” or “stay positive”
Just listen without judgment
Encourage small daily activities (walk, sunlight exposure)
Maintain a routine
Watch for warning signs:
If you notice:
Thoughts of self-harm
Withdrawal from everyone
Refusal to eat or speak
Seek immediate psychiatric help
Final guidance:
Chronic depression is treatable, but often needs a multi-dimensional approach—medication, emotional healing, and lifestyle support.
As a homeopathic doctor with long clinical experience, I focus on deep constitutional treatment, which can complement her current care and help improve her overall mental well-being.
I would strongly suggest a detailed consultation to understand her emotional pattern and guide you properly.
You are doing the right thing by supporting her—recovery is possible with the right guidance and patience

Your wife seems to be dealing with long-term depression along with anxiety, where constant negative thoughts and worry keep reinforcing her sadness. Since there hasn’t been much improvement with current medicines, it’s important to get a fresh evaluation from an experienced psychiatrist, sometimes medication type or dosage needs to be changed. Equally important is starting regular therapy, especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps change thinking patterns. Along with this, your emotional support, patience, and encouraging small daily routines can make a big difference. Recovery may be slow, but it is definitely possible.

sorry to hear this, it must be very difficult for both of you. If she has not improved despite medication, a detailed psychiatric review may be needed to reassess diagnosis, dosage, or treatment plan. Combining medication with structured psychotherapy (like CBT or trauma-focused therapy) often gives better results. Also check sleep, thyroid, B12, and lifestyle factors. Encourage gentle routine, emotional support, and regular follow-ups. Severe depression is treatable, but it may require a more comprehensive and consistent approach.
