Nedley Health Report

Dear Friend,

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are over, and the new year is off to a lightning start. For those of you suffering with fatigue, decreased motivation, lack of concentration or any other symptom of depression, what better year than 2008 to turn your life around?

You can get started in a few short weeks, at the next 10-day Nedley Residential Program. This session will be held at the Hampton Inn in Ardmore, Oklahoma, beginning on Friday, April 11 and ending on Monday, April 21.

Dr. Neil Nedley, in conjunction with Dr. David Miller, Don Macintosh R.N., Kelly Dulac, clinical psychologist, myself and others, will be hosting the program.

The first Nedley Residential Program was held in 2004. At that time we had 28 attendees participating in the program, including a man I’ll call Roger. Roger just called me the other day, to say he is doing very well. He also asked if I could send him a few more recipes.

“Paula,” he told me, “I’ve written down exactly how my life has changed for the better since attending the program over three years ago. I’d like to send a copy to you and Dr. Nedley”. You too could have a story to write about!

Since 2004, 97% of attendees at the Residential Program who had major depression had a significant improvement by the end of the session. In 2007 100% of attendees entering with depression in both the spring and autumn programs experienced significant documented improvement. Almost one-half of depressed participants no longer qualified as having any depression at the end of the 10-day program.

Sometimes, life seems to stay the same and time slips by. It’s not always easy to notice the evidence that things are getting worse-until it’s too late. When this happens, many people don’t have the mental or emotional strength to do anything except slide further into hopelessness.

Some try to manage their depression with medication and end up feeling physically and emotionally drained. Losing interest in things they once enjoyed, they find it more difficult to manage their emotions, work, finances and family relationships. At this point, they begin considering thoughts of worthlessness, death or suicide.

Perhaps, as you are reading this letter, you recognize these symptoms in a neighbor, family member, or even yourself. Now is your opportunity to jumpstart Dr. Nedley’s 20-week program by coming to the residential Depression Recovery Program. There is only one Nedley Residential program scheduled in 2008.

Please give me a call toll-free at 1-888-778-4445 and let’s discuss the help that is available by attending a 10-day Nedley Residential Program Others have experienced dramatic improvements in their mental performance, family relationships, and level of personal accomplishment as a result of attending this program. Why not you?

Sincerely,

Paula Reiter
Nedley Depression Recovery Programs Director

An assessment designed by Dr. Neil Nedley, M.D., to measure level of depression, anxiety, emotional intelligence (EQ) and brain “hits” (factors which may lead to depression or anxiety) has just been made available to be taken online.

“Previously we had to have the tests sent here, grade them, and return the results,” says Dr. Nedley. “This process was quite time-consuming, with the many factors and complicated scoring involved.”

During the past few months, the Nedley Health Solutions team has worked with computer programmers to develop a solution capable of scoring the test.

“With the custom website software we recently developed, people can now take the test anonymously and see the results immediately online,” says Dr. Nedley.

Dr. Nedley, an internal medicine physician, became interested in treating depression when he realized that 25% of patients who came to see him were depressed, and that depression was linked to many of their physical ailments. Combining his medical knowledge with proven natural remedies and a practical approach, Dr. Nedley developed a “20-week turnaround”. He authored the best-selling book, Depression: The Way Out, and lectures extensively on the topic.

Results of this well-rounded program have been extremely promising. Since 2004, 97% of attendees at Dr. Nedley’s 10-day Residential Depression Recovery Program who came with major depression had a significant improvement by the end of the session. Almost one-half of depressed participants no longer qualified as having any depression at the end of the 10-day program. Seminars utilizing Dr. Nedley’s materials have been presented around the world, in addition to a home study DVD course available online.

One of the tools in Dr. Nedley’s depression-fighting arsenal is a 75-question assessment, which, in addition to measuring the level of depression, also identifies brain “hit” areas which are likely contributing to the condition.

“When an individual has four or more of these ten hit areas,” Dr. Nedley explains, “they are likely to be depressed.” Understanding the underlying factors causing depression is the first step towards combating the disease.”

The test also measures anxiety level, which is closely related to depression, and emotional intelligence (EQ). Raising EQ can help prevent or even treat depression.

“Studies have shown that emotional intelligence (EQ) is more important to a person’s success than IQ,” says Dr. Nedley. “The good news is that while IQ doesn’t generally change once a person reaches adulthood, EQ can be raised.”
Resources developed by Dr. Nedley have been helpful to many in improving overall health, overcoming depression and bettering mental performance. Dr. Nedley also authored the book Proof Positive, and a new book is set for release this year, “The Lost Art of Thinking: 30 Strategies to Achieve Peak Mental Performance”.

Dr. Nedley recommends that individuals take the EQ-Depression-Anxiety test, which is available at drnedley.com, as a tool to measure progress in working to raise EQ, reduce anxiety levels or depression.
