Research in the Journal Trials has reported on the start of a study looking at the use of homeopathy to treat depression is widespread but there is a lack of clinical trials about its efficacy in depression in peri– and postmenopausal women.

Previous trials suggest that individualised homeopathic treatments improve depression.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the homeopathic individualized treatment versus placebo or fluoxetine in peri– and postmenopausal women with moderate to severe depression.
