I am guessing that your interest in the remedy platina relates to possible use for post-partum depression, especially as the materia medica addresses specifically the patient's belief that children are interfering and there may be a desire to hurt or kill. IMO, all serious acute or chronic conditions should be treated by a homeopath as many remedies may be very similar and have subtle distinguishing characteristics. Also, the dosages, timing and frequency in using the remedy as well as follow-up are all significant. That said, if there were no competent homeopath in my area, I would self-treat with homeopathy before I would resort to anything else.
