They can have placebo effects that are very real, but claiming it's because of some diluted herb is fraud. Kurzgesagt made a nice video about it.

Regardless of its efficacy, an overdose of any type of preparation, homeopathic or not, is cause for concern. There's no quality control and you don't really know what is in a lot of the products.
Oh there’s no way I’ll find it now. It was a week ago or more. I’m not calling anyone out, not on purpose anyway, I’m just sure I’ve seen it here before.
If you speak to medical professionals like physicians and pharmacists who were educated outside the US, most were educated about homeopathy alongside western med and recognize that it is the basis of modern pharmacology, and can be helpful in a lot of ways. Medicine doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. I’ve treated my bipolar disorder for well over a decade with homeopathic medicine. Successfully. From 6-10 manic episodes and depressive per month to maybe one every few years. When the western meds made me sick. Western and non-western meds can work a long side one another.
I'm a psychologist formed outside the US. Our education includes the knowledge of the medication used in mental disorders, and the bipolar disorder has a huge place in that because it's one of the disorders that is always treated with psychopharmacs.
Homeopathy is never mentioned as a serious alternative and has no place in cientific discussions. It has showed no effect beside placebo (wich by no means can treat bipolar disorders)
It's hard to believe you, I'm sorry
It’s ok, no need to apologize. I work with neonatologists and pharmacists in a hospital who have been educated about it, and use homeopathy for themselves in their personal lives. I don’t claim to be educated in medicine, I’m and LMSW. But I do have bipolar disorder, diagnosed and treated by a psychiatrist, and then psychologist for years with little reduction of symptoms, and constant side effects from meds. Call it placebo if you’d like, but I’m living a life I never dreamed possible after watching multiple family members with the same diagnosis destroy every significant relationship they had. I spend way less money on homeopathy than I did on western treatment. I recognize that my story is merely anecdotal evidence, but in my specific personal experience, this shit works.
I'm glad you are better
But your experience is nowere near the vast majority of people
Where I live there's people dying because they don't get proper cancer treatment, or they let a preventable disease expand because they don't take actual medicine
Mental illnesess aren't usually as visible as this examples, but, as you already know, they can be even more damaging to a family
I've got quite a strong view in this topic
I would ban homeopathy if I could
...I don’t think you actually read my comments. I agree with you 100% about western medicine. I work in a hospital. People make their own choices with regard to their treatments, and as a psychologist I’m sure you know that self determination is key when it comes to the success of patients’ course of care. In mine, and in the minds of most people I know who use and have been educated in and actually practice homeopathic medicine, these choices are based on a number of factors. I have no idea where you live, and I can’t imagine how upsetting it is to know and see what you have/do. I am fortunate enough to have been exposed to both types of medicine, and I have the right to treat my ailments how I like. Western medicine is magnificent, but it is not perfect. The same goes for homeopathy. I get vaccinated. I have c-sections. I encourage my patients to follow their md’s advice. But there are ways that western medicine has failed me and homeopathy has helped. Because it has saved my life.
Original idea of homeopathy was ruined because Hahnemann had allergy by tested drug for malaria, and he didn't know about it. He found "same" symptoms from drug but it had another nature of process.
Supplemental, Complimentary, Alternative Medicine.
Take a closer look at the name.
It's not just a pseudoscience, it's fraud.
