Depression/ADHD

As a teenager and young adult, I experienced tactile, visual and auditory hallucinations regularly and some incidents of deep depression leading to labels ranging from epilepsy to depression, manic depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and schizo-affective disorder. After many years of harsh pharmaceuticals and other therapies I came to see Dr. Kahn. My liver was not doing so well and my hair and nails had turned brown. My medicine was not as effective in handling my psychoses, and I was terrified that I'd end up in a mental hospital. With her help, I transitioned off of all pharmaceuticals, cleaned up my liver, and am managing my unusual experiences through supplements, amino acid drips, diet and neurotransmitter support through neurosciences laboratories. Now I feel better than I ever imagined I would and have hopes for things I'd long ago dismissed. My family and friends are astonished by the change in me. And though it may sound miraculous, I would suggest "sensible" in that the approach addresses a person holistically, with a detective's inquisitive nature and a compassionate, empathetic heart. I expect to feel even better than I am feeling now.

After my doctor at the Institute for Progressive Medicine provided me extraordinary results overcoming lifelong depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, I was thrilled when she treated my children's health concerns.

My doctor helps one of my sons manage his ADHD. His temper has evened, his hyperactivity is significantly lessened and he is able to concentrate better on all tasks. The best part is that he is making better decisions everyday.

My doctor has helped my teenage son, as well. He was prone to depression, mood swings, poor concentration, forgetfulness, and "brain fog." He is happier, more energetic, and concentrates much better. I am so happy to see him smile again.

The boys both feel the benefits of the nutritional guidelines they have received and work to stay on track with their diets. Thank you Institute for Progressive Medicine for making my family happier and healthier!

As a patient of Dr. Kahn, I have learned that being a "slave" to anti-depressants is detrimental for achieving and sustaining good mental health. I found myself taking my prescribed dosage of PaxilŽ everyday, for the past fifteen years, and decided that I did not want to be dependant on such a drug for the rest of my life. I was so elated to learn that there are healthy and natural supplements that actually help fix the problem, not simply mask it. Not only do I feel that I have received an incredible education in the process, I also feel better than I have in years. My anxiety is gone! My energy level is at an all time high. I love watching the sun come up in the morning. For anyone who is contemplating a healthy alternative to antidepressant medications, I cannot recommend a better route.
