Aurum metallicum helps a well‑paid, pushed‑beyond‑his‑limits elite athlete out of his profound, abyssal depression.
The patient, a successful professional rugby player, is not ill because of the challenges of sporting competitive pressure, but because of his devastating fears of having failed and of having betrayed his duty to his family. Aurum metallicum, Stage 11 in the Gold series, addresses the core issue of "bearing the burden of responsibility" that led this powerful patient into burnout and an apparently hopeless depression.
