any herbal pills I can take for depression?

"St. John's wort is an herb that has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes, including to treat depression. There is some scientific evidence that St. John's wort is useful for treating mild to moderate depression. However, recent studies suggest that St. John's wort is of no benefit in treating major depression of moderate severity. More research is required to help us know whether St. John's wort has value in treating other forms of depression."

I have friends who take St. John's wort and they have found it helpful in the treatment of mild depression. But, you have to be very careful when taking herbal medications because they can have a serious interaction with prescribed medications. So, talk to your doctor before using these pills, but St. John's wort seems to be the most popular that I know of.

Below is a site with more info. Hope that helps!

I tried herbal remedies for my anxiety and they do work. The problem is after you take them for a while you have to change because they will stop working as well. First of all you need to take Coral Calcium (it has a calming effect to it) They say that it is best to take at night, but I take it in the morning because I need to be calmed. Also you need to take a vitamin B12 every day and a good Multi Vitamin (these help to balance the chemicals in your body) You can try Kava Kava pills, Relora I took them both and had great outcomes from both. But like I said you should only take each for 30-60 days at a time that is why you switch off from one to the other. YOu can get all of these vitamins at HiHealth or GNC and they arn't very expensive at all. Good Luck with your anxiety/ depression

St. John's Wort is the only known herbal that will help with depression. Gensing might increase your alertness, and for anything other than minor depression - you will need a prescription.

Depression can become a very serious thing. Activity (such as exercise and staying social(sometimes forcing yourself)), a healthy diet and surrounding yourself with people you can talk to are the best ways to overcome it. If the depression deepens too much or you are having suicidal thoughts, seek out a professional.

Like Lisa said - St. John Wart. You can find it in any phamacy.

You will need to see a doctor if it's more than just a mild depression. St John Wart is not stong eough for clinical depression.

I have depression & have tried all the recommended herbs for it---St. John's wart, mullien, etc...

The best thing I have found that works is Bach's Rescue Remedy. It is a liquid & you just apply a few drops under your tongue. It starts working withing minutes.

Below is the cheapest place I have found it, but it can be found in most health stores, too.

I actual have been tormented by submit partum melancholy for the previous one twelve months as quickly as I gave beginning to a baby boy. i could no longer end thinking approximately how my husband loves him greater desirable than me and how issues may be greater suited if he wasn't born in any respect. for this reason, I stayed removed from him because of the fact I knew that i might do something i'm going to remorseful approximately for something of my life. very nearly immediately I went to a therapist and convince them that i choose help. between different issues, i've got tried organic supplementations and different e book to handle melancholy yet no longer something works like the melancholy unfastened technique. So now i'm proud to declare i'm between the happiest mom in the international.

St Johns Wort - available in chemists and supermarkets without prescription.

Might be an idea trying to think what is getting you down though, and try and put a new positive spin on life?!

St. Johns Wart is suggested but it didn't work for me. I take Fish Oil and it helps tremendously! The omega 3 oil literally makes your brain "slippery" and actually work better and think clearer. It worked for me! Seriously!

cutting back on sugar worked for me. Also making myself go out side more, even if was only in the garden really helped.

Read, "potatoes, Not Prozac" It's the natural way for help.
