I've been dealing with depression as well lately. St. John's Wort is an herb that helps with depression. I started taking it a few days ago, and it has seemed to be helping so far. I go from wanting to just curl up in bed to actually feeling like i can do something again. Yeah it doesn't fix issues in life that bring you down but it does help balance out the chemicals in your brain that throw you all out of wack. Really works well for those rainy day blues. I just got it in capsule form from the store. It's worth a try.
