ABSTRACT: Depression is a prevalent mental health disorder that significantly impacts an individual's quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of individualized homeopathic medicine in the management of depression. A case series study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with depression, who were treated with homeopathic remedies based on their individualized symptomatology. The findings suggest that individualized homeopathic treatment may have a beneficial role in managing depression. Primary objectives of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic remedies in reducing depressive symptoms and enhancing quality of life. Methods: This case series study was conducted with 30 cases of depression, selected through stratified random sampling from the OPD/IPD of a homoeopathic medical college and hospital, peripheral OPDs, schools, and health camps. Each case was assessed and treated with individualized homoeopathic remedies. The severity of depression was evaluated using BDI score scale before and after treatment.Result: This case series study suggests that individualized homeopathic medicine may be effective in managing depression, as 20 out of 30 patients showed improvement. However, the lack of response in 10 patients indicates the need for further research with larger sample sizes and controlled trials to establish its efficacy more definitively.
