    [post_content] => The rise in mental health problems and the role that homeopathy can play in helping to promote mental and emotional wellbeing is one of the key themes explored in the latest issue of the Society's journal New Homeopath.

Sue Crump, chair of the Public Affairs Committee, writes about the Society's recently-launched homeopathy and mental health campaign, highlighting its emphasis on patient choice: "Many of those seeking help with mental and emotional issues do not want conventional drug treatments and are seeking alternatives to antidepressants and sleeping pills," she says.

Sue also points to the findings of research carried out by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) and the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) indicating that three-quarters of practitioners on accredited registers believe they are under-used in promoting the public's health.

Alison Fixsen, the Society's research officer, examines the role homeopathy may play in reducing the burden of mental health disorders worldwide, while homeopath Philippa Fibert looks at the impact of homeopathy on ADHD which was the focus of a recent research trial at the University of Sheffield.

The Society's year-long mental health campaign includes a symposium in London on November 17. Click here for details.

Elsewhere, in their editorial comment, editors Sarah Lane and Julia Lockwood call for a united front among the profession at a time of some hostility from outside.

"Now more than ever is a time to stand united, to positively embrace, rather than reject, the vibrant diversity of our own profession. Different organisations and individuals adopt different approaches towards the detractors . . . this is great! We need a variety of approaches and a variety of voices."

The autumn issue of New Homeopath also features an interview with Ananda More, director of homeopathy documentary  Magic Pills, plus a look at the growing popularity of homeopathy in Iceland.
