The best thing for you to do is go and see a chinese doctor. The herbalists not an actual doctor. Talk to them and see what they would recommend for you. I hope this helps as I pretty much swear by them. Alot of them are great. If that doesn't help mail me and I will see what I can find out. My mom is into all this kind of natural healing things.

Antidepressants will not make your depression worst,, try to control your feelings, tell the exact nuber of years, by just saying "some" u r creating a confusion. Anyways herbal remedies are also good but i'll prefer you to take antidepressants,better consult a nearby doctor or a psychiatrist.

I agree with you to NOT take the anti-depressants or medication the doctors gave you for depression because they do, in fact, make you worse, especially if you become addicted. I suggest to my clients aromatherapy, meditation, Kava Kava--which induces a natural good night's sleep AND eating several vegetables with high concentrations of magnesium, iron and potassium. Also what is your bloodtype ? sharing the light and happy new year, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire http://www.enlightenment-psych.net/psychologistsnatural.htm

Yes this is a good natural fight against depression; however, it is a very powerful natural remedy and must be monitored very closely. sharing the light and happy new year, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire www.enlightenment-psych.net

If your depression is bad why not try the medications from the doctor and then decide if they work or not. after all the doctor did spend a large amount of his/ her life training to help people. I suffer with quite bad depression but this is due to brain chemistry. A good herbal remedy that actually worked and I used before my condition was fully diagnosed is "Saint John's Wort" I dont know if its called anything else abroad.It really did help with my moods and those early mornings where you wake up and cant go on. It can make you photosensitive(sunburn real easy).as with any medication get PROFESSIONAL advice before having any treatment.
