FROM THE EDITOR
The Joys of Parenthood
We hope you enjoyed last month's newsletter. Since we've been covering the topics of anxiety and depression in the different stages of life, from childhood to middle age, we thought it important to feature information on the issues of mood disorders during the different stages of parenthood.
Parenthood has been described by many as the most joyous experiences in a person's life and a milestone looked forward to by most. But with its share of challenges comes the possibility of depression and anxiety becoming a part of the formula... such is the case of empty nest syndrome.
Discover how to overcome emotional difficulties that come with an empty nest >>
Also in this month's issue, we explore the effects of hormonal changes in a body during pregnancy. Sometimes these hormonal fluctuations are so extreme that symptoms of depression and anxiety can occur.
Learning to recognize when these symptoms are interfering with our daily lives and finding a natural way to manage them should be a priority on every new mom-to-be's "to do" list.

Finally, something for everyone! Check out the simple tips we offer that can help you stick to an exercise routine. Exercise is one of the best ways to shake off depression and keep a healthy body weight.

Facing the Future...
Empty Nests - What to Expect
Many families will be undergoing major changes as summer ends, with their high school graduates preparing to make the transition into adulthood. Dealing with the depression of an empty nest and the anxiety of knowing your child will have to manage the challenges and responsibilities of the real-world without you can cause a flurry of hard-to-deal-with emotions in the family. Fear, frustration, stress, and sadness are not uncommon and can contribute to the development of mood disorders if not properly managed.
Parents may experience feelings of pride in their child's accomplishments, yet also experience anxiety at the thought of letting them go. Children may also have to adjust to no longer being the sole center of attention at home.
As always, preparing for this life-changing experience is key to helping the entire family cope in a healthy way. Talking openly about your concerns and allowing every family member the time and space to voice their feelings can be the first step in developing an open line of communication which will ultimately benefit everyone.

Dealing with mood disorders during pregnancy
Pregnancy is supposed to be one of the happiest periods in a woman's life- but for women affected by anxiety and depression, it can also be a tough time. It is estimated that at least 1 in 10 women are affected by anxiety disorders and/or depression during pregnancy. It can come and go in bouts or be a prolonged state that lasts throughout the pregnancy and even after childbirth, which it is known as postpartum depression.
Hormonal changes that occur in the female body during pregnancy are largely responsible for symptoms of anxiety and depression. These symptoms include tearfulness, prolonged sadness and the lack of motivation and energy to perform normal daily activities. Anxiety regarding the challenges of upcoming motherhood coupled with the radical changes in the expecting mom's body and mind also plagues many women, making it hard to enjoy being pregnant.

QUESTION 1
"I have always suffered from... [The blues]... but lately it seems to have gotten worse. My Dr. wants me to take an anti-depressant - which I do not want to take. I have taken them in the past and they did nothing for me. I am researching natural "solutions" and cannot determine what is best and will blood work be required? "
ANSWER
Hi There,
Thank you for your query. You are to be commended for researching the use of natural alternatives.
We can highly recommend a combination of our Mindsoothe™ and PureCalm™ remedies for 'the blues'
Mindsoothe™ is our 100% herbal remedy to support balanced mood, emotional health and feelings of well-being.
Many people also like to use our PureCalm™ Drops while they are waiting for the Mindsoothe™ to take full effect. PureCalm™ Drops are wonderfully calming and relaxing without causing drowsiness. PureCalm™ contains selected herbs which help with the short term, symptomatic treatment of sadness and nervousness. Unlike Mindsoothe™, this remedy does not have to be taken every day, but can be used as needed. You will find PureCalm™ very helpful during the first few weeks of taking Mindsoothe™ - thereafter most people find that they need to use it less and less.

PureCalm™
Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
Warm regards,
