Abstract
Today, depression is considered one of the most common diseases, second only to infectious diseases. According to the latest findings, most antidepressants have more side effects than real therapeutic effects. Obviously, the pathophysiological mechanisms of this disease have not yet been sufficiently understood in order to develop appropriate therapeutic approaches. In systematic studies in 425 patients with a resting systolic blood pressure of <110 mmHg we have been able to verify the triad of low blood pressure, cervical spine syndrome, and depressive disorders. Symptoms in these patients were partially or fully relieved after 2 to 4 weeks in which they followed a special Asclepian treatment without any medication aimed at a healthy life style.
