A 56-year old male came to us with depression and vertigo on 20/8/18. All complaints started two years ago.
C/C:
Depression – not taking interest in anything, remains sad all the time, doesn’t like to talk much even with any family members. He could not walk without support and also couldn’t drive. Vertigo++ at first followed by stiffness of neck++. Feels better while closing eyes for half an hour or so. Vertigo (Homeopathy Treatment for Vertigo) aggravated by walking.
These complaints started after his “guru” died and also, he had gone through some financial crisis at the company he had been working for. When his “guru” died, he felt grief and shock. The property which was his guru’s for many years was sold after his death. He felt shocked and felt sad by seeing this.
In 1996 he became CEO in a company in HALOL. When the company was in crisis, lawyers declined to take their case as the company had gone bankrupt. He presented the whole case in front of judges and got the debt cleared. Still he was cheated by the same company and was terminated without salary.
He then, faced four months of unemployment, which is when he became depressed. He took allopathic, Ayurvedic and homoeopathic treatment for one and a half years.
