At our center we use complementary and naturopathic medicines to treat depression.
Depression can result from imbalances in neurotransmitters in the brain. These imbalances can be identified by measuring the neurotransmitters in the urine. With the results of this urine test, natural substances can be selected to balance the neurotransmitters. Unlike medications, the natural substances used are compounds normally found in the body and in food and are well tolerated. These compounds help provide the body with the raw materials to make natural anti-depressants like serotonin and epinephrine.

Patient Testimonials "I came to see Dr. Belanger after a long period of suffering from intractable severe depression and anxiety, which seemed to be untouched by several months of psychotherapy, a week in hospital and different pharmaceutical medications. Since my wife had previously been helped by Dr. Braga, who cured her of a supposedly untreatable condition, I felt that I should try Naturopathy. Heaven knows why I did not start there. In the two months since I started with Dr. Belanger I have finally seemed to turn a corner. My wife, my therapist, my friends and co-workers all see a great difference in me, and I feel much more able to cope with the fears and emotions which were taking over my life. I am still in the process of treatment, but finally have hope that Dr. Belanger has found and is treating the key physiological component of my condition." JL
