Abstract
Imogen presented with treatment refractory depression; however, the most striking feature of her presentation and her most pressing concern was severe anxiety. This is a case in which a whole-system naturopathic approach was not initially used (e.g. treating every potential contributing system, such as digestion and sex hormones). Instead, due to the severity of her mental health issues, initial treatment was focused on neurotransmitter support. This case is a great illustration of how quickly, profoundly and sustainably complementary medicines can work in certain mental health cases, even cases as serious as this one.
