Abstract
Introduction: Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common mental health disorder that interferes with daily activities and the quality of life of people.
Case summary: A 38-year-old female patient presented with symptoms of anxiety along with marked fear of some impending misfortune, decreased socialisation and difficulty in managing her day-to-day work and family responsibilities for one year and six months. She was diagnosed with a case of generalised anxiety disorder as per the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision classification of psychiatric disorders. A detailed case taking and repertorisation was done as per homoeopathic principles. The patient was prescribed individualised homoeopathic medicine Calcarea carbonica in LM potency from LM 0/1 to LM 0/15. The case is being reported as per the HOM-CASE guidelines. The assessment of causal attribution was carried out using the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) inventory. The GAD-7 score of the patient improved from 18 to 3 in five months. Two months of subsequent follow-up on placebo did not show any relapse. This case report suggests that individualised homoeopathic treatment in LM potency can be useful for the management of GAD.
