I recently went to a workshop on depression and one of the speakers there was a man who has had depression for 10 yrs, he said he was on Prozac for 7 yrs and then turned to hypnosis and is now drug free for 3 yrs. Can this be possible? to cure depression and anxiety with self hypnosis? If a depression and anxiety is due to a chemical imbalance how could hypnosis change that? Any input is appreciated. This man made me nervous as some people bought his story and are now talking about going off their meds. Scarey! BUT...if there is some truth in what he says...I'd buy into it, I would love a life without medications.

A friend of mine underwent hypnosis therapy to help cure his anxiety problems and he is now med free.. he says he's about 80% better from it.. he did it under care of his GP and with a reccomended hypnotist...

This is a good question, but since it's about a psychological treatment, it's more appropriate for Psycho-Psycho-Babble. Here's a link to continue this discussion:
