The following, greatly abbreviated list, reveals the basic
stock of remedies commonly listed for anxiety, depression
and fatigue in contemporary books on homeopathic applications.

incorporate a large portion of the remedies
referred to under these topics in major repertories or in
various other discussions of mental health. The following
descriptions begin with the quick reference details from Miranda
Castro’s book A Homeopathic Guide to Stress, because it specifically
highlights the stress-related aspects of these and many more
remedies.
