- Holistic Depression Therapy Natural Depression Treatments
In this video, we introduce Robert D. McMullen, MD who is a psychiatrist in NYC who has been performing psychopharmacology for over 30 years, the last 10 of which include transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS). Today, he will discuss holistic treatments for depression.
Holistic non-medication interventions for depression have been proven to work, with some being nutritional. One important note is that humans have been experiencing stressful situations for millions of years. Back when humans were hunter-gatherers and had to forage for food in groups and compete with wild predators for their prey, survival was not guaranteed. However, our ancestors faced a lot less stress than we do today due to the relatively simple lifestyle that they lived. Nowadays, jobs, school, family, all these things and more cause humans a lot of stress, with many people eventually developing depression. Therefore, reducing stress in your lifestyle plays a huge role in treating depression and allowing people to live happier lives.
Furthermore, diet is also a factor in depression. The hunter-gatherers’ diet consisted mainly of Omega-3 gained from eating lean meat, which has been shown to help with depression. Nowadays, our diet consist of a lot of Omega 6, found mostly in corn oil which is in a lot of the food that we eat today.
Exercise is also a factor in treating depression. Our ancestors exercised 3 to 4 days a week gathering food and hunting their prey. Our ancestors were a lot healthier than we are today due to the lack of saturated fat and artificial additives that make up a lot of the food that we eat today. Furthermore, our ancestors had very high levels of vitamin D, which has also been shown to help with depression. This is due to the lack of clothes that they wore, which exposed more of their skin to sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency is common in many parts of the world, especially in colder regions where humans are more covered up and exposure to sunlight is minimal during the day.
Behavioral therapy for depression includes forcing yourself to go to social events where you can talk to other people who are happy and can help you take your mind off of your depression. In addition, according to a study performed, using Botox to paralyze the frown muscles can also help reduce depression. Furthermore, avoiding negative thoughts can also help treat depression by lowering stress and focusing on the positives.
These are just some of the findings presented in the video above. For more information on holistic treatments for depression, feel free to schedule a consultation with Dr. McMullen at (212) 362-9635, or contact him through his website at tmsbraincare.c....

Dr McMullen, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have been off the psych meds, for 4 years, and have gradually incorporated your suggested supplements. It has helped. Thank you❤
Can you please help me mentioning some beneficial supplements ?
Im 4 years off antipsychotics
I like your educational videos, esp on high EPA. I am taking Via 4 to 8 of 500 mg per day. I feel my stomach is much relaxed and my anxiety almost instantly reduced.
I also find butterbur + feverfew, pau d'arco + slippery elm, vit b1, b3, I take both the capsules and sublingual types to be great.
Pls kindly continue with 2023 update. Even I am in Singapore I follow your videos and waiting for an update, if possible ❤
to tell depressed person go to party is like telling a deaf to go to concert to improve your hearing
Is it recommended that all these supplements be taken simultaneously?
Depends on the patient, hard to treat people via the UA-cam comments section.
does the relationship between vitamin D levels and cancer hold up, if you control for higher life expectancy in richer/more inside living (and therefore lower Vitamin D) people?
Adult coloring books can be meditative in depression.
Thank you very much Sir
I suffer from chronic insomnia have had it all my life.

My vitamin d levels are 109 here in Seattle. But I took 10k for over 6 months daily
Hi dr , will you please let me know how to get your appointment and what are your consultation fees. Also how much time you share with a new Pateient first time visits your clinic .
First, I consider it important to identify the very clear set of symptoms that are emerging in the group of people harmed by TMS. After speaking with and reading the testimony of hundreds of people, the most common symptoms are:
Significantly worsening depression and anxiety (which may also be newly “treatment-resistant”)
Cognitive impairment such as short-term memory or functional memory loss and decreased ability to multitask
Irritability
Fatigue
Panic attacks
Increased suicidal ideation
Chronic headaches
Loss of balance,
Dizziness
Almost every person I’ve spoken with experienced at least one of these, if not all of them.
Additional symptoms that are somewhat less common include:
Tinnitus
Hearing loss
Eye injury
Migraines
Different forms of tachycardia
Seizures and epilepsy
Blood pressure problems
Speech problems
Muscle pain/weakness/fasciculations/cramping/tightness
Insomnia
Dissociation
Environmental sensitivities to temperature, light, smell, and sound
Sensitivity to medications and supplements
Psychosis has also been observed in a few rare cases, but at least half of those specifically involve overuse of TMS (as described in this article).
It also became obvious to me that these symptoms manifest themselves in a very specific way. For instance, the worsening anxiety and/or depression is unrelenting and does not respond to treatment. As an example, before my TMS injury, when I was extremely anxious or depressed I would run longer and start eating really well, and this would always improve my symptoms to some degree. Typically, the harder I worked out, the better I felt, and the better I ate, the better I felt.
But after TMS, when I became depressed and anxious, exercise and eating did not help. I immediately began working out harder and harder and put myself on a stricter diet, which became stricter because I never got any relief from my symptoms. Every day I woke up feeling the same intense depths of despair, and I would become very anxious during the day. If I tried to meditate or run or use the CBT methods I had developed in the past, none of them made ANY difference at all. I found this to be remarkable and deeply disconcerting, which only compounded my situation.
Another characteristic of my TMS injury was that instead of improving in the months following TMS, I actually got worse. Immediately after TMS, I did not feel nearly as bad as I began to feel as time went on. Immediately after TMS, I still had my depression and anxiety, and I may have even felt slightly better due to the placebo effect and the hope that it was helping me.
However, about a month after TMS, I felt my symptoms were slowly intensifying until, about three months after TMS, they had become far more severe. The level of depression I felt was at least ten times what it was before. Also, instead of having anxiety occasionally bother me, I now had it all day, and panic attacks that I had only experienced once or twice in my whole life became a daily occurrence.
I concluded that this is what led to the subsequent increased, intense suicidal ideation that I experienced, which is what most others have mentioned to me when discussing their TMS injury as well. When you are extremely depressed and frequently panicking, suicidal ideation naturally follows; you come to believe you will never get any relief from the suffering and you begin to doubt if you can live with it.
To me, this is a normal human response to the trauma that TMS causes in the brain and on the nervous system. If we take a step back here and look at how these symptoms are manifesting, we can see this is “delayed onset.” New symptoms are continually manifesting after the initial injury has occurred.
I’ve noticed that you’ve posted this exact comment in several online comment threads-you even refer to content “in this article”: this is a video, not an article-you’re obviously just copying & pasting with no regard to the information that’s being presented.
I don’t know what’s motivating you to do this, but your TMS experience (Assuming you actually underwent TMS therapy…though I suspect you did not bc your “experience” is highly unusual).
Basically:
GET BACK UNDER YOUR BRIDGE, TROLL!
Dr D. McMullen have you heard about Valeria root it supposed to help you with sleep. If you do can you expand on it thank you.
Valerian root does absolutely nothing, phenibut is what you want to help you stay asleep all night
I've found valarian root helpful for anxiety \ relaxing. For me the tinture is more powerful than the dried root.
Is it true that Klonopin causes depression.....I have been taking it for sleep and still feel very depressed.....I think I need hormones and I am getting anxiety and panic attacks.....I just want to sleep naturally...
long-term use of benzodiazepines increases the risk of dementia. Benzodiazepines are supposed to be used for short periods of time. However, some people have been on these drugs for years. Among a group of adults over sixty-five years old, those that used benzodiazepines were fifty percent more likely to develop dementia over a fifteen year period.
This is not a new discovery. Three other studies within the last decade or so all found the same results. They found that benzodiazepines significantly increased the risk of dementia despite taking into consideration other factors that might contribute to developing this condition. The conclusion was that these drugs have too many adverse side effects so they are not to be readily prescribed for widespread use. In addition, the elderly who are already at risk for various health situations, should avoid these entirely.
If dementia isn’t bad enough, premature death is also a possibility from taking benzodiazepines. In a study on sleep aid drugs which included benzodiazepines, it was found that it is four times more likely that premature death could take place from taking sleep aid drugs than if you weren’t taking anything. This fourfold risk even applied to those patients who took less than eighteen pills a year! This information should make anyone reconsider how they want to handle their insomnia.
Xanax and Valium in particular have multiple dangerous side effects. For starters, benzodiazepines are as addictive as heroin. These drugs also have side effects such as suicidal thoughts, violence, seizures, hallucinations, depression, coma and blurred vision. Clearly these drugs are not to be taken lightly as they pose extreme threats to one’s well-being.
Xanax has that sedating effect like alcohol does and has even been termed “alcohol in a pill.” Xanax has more detrimental results than anything associated with alcohol. Dr. Peter Breggin, a prominent psychiatrist, stated that Xanax is the most dangerous benzodiazepine but others aren’t excluded from the adverse side effects. He said that these drugs alter judgment, cause memory problems and issues with self-control.
Dr. Breggin said they eventually erode all mental faculties without the person really understanding that this has occurred to them. They perhaps forget how many pills they took and then take more or add other medications thus leading to overdose or abuse. For the elderly, it can make them drowsy or dizzy thus leading to accidents such as falling down or getting a hip fracture.
It is not surprising that another study showed that benzodiazepines cause brain damage. Brain scans of long-term users showed damage and decrease in size. The brain had actually shrunk. This type of drug also puts one at risk for certain types of cancer. All this information just shows that there are no benefits from taking these drugs and plenty of risks to consider. It’s supposed to be the other way around.
The question then remains how to handle anxiety and insomnia. It must be noted that anxiety is definitely something people experience, but telling people they have social anxiety disorder (SAD), general anxiety disorder (GAD), or panic disorder is just plain ridiculous. Psychiatry has no medical or scientific test that identifies or proves such “disorders” exist, so there is no need whatsoever to take a mind-altering drug to handle anxiety or insomnia. Without the test, the condition is subjective, so don’t let an opinion of your symptoms push you down the psychiatric drug path.

@@OreElect1 You are right but then how do I sleep.....I would like to stay on PremPro hormones as they work for sleep and anxiety......can you get some are you a doctor.....how would I get them.....I know they work
@@OreElect1 YIKES. You are insidious.
@@JaimeBlackBird
The truth hurts doesn't it.
All of these are PROVEN to work? Can you please provide citations to these studies?
I assume by “proof”, you’re asking about “statistical significance”, which is what scientific research is all about.
He cites quite a bit of the literature in most of his videos (literature = evidence-based, peer-reviewed, etc…)
Completely not based on good science. Interesting stories though.
