There are 22 supplements listed for depression (this is from medical research - no one trying to sell you anything).

See link below (University of Maryland Medical Center)

Vitamin D supplements seem to help a lot with seasonal depression. Flax oil supplements seem to help too.

Yes, smoke some good weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddddd...

5-HTP can help boost seretonin levels, but you should read up on it because is has side effects, such as headaches and drowsiness. Also, it can interact with psuedoephedrine, which is in cold medication.

I've tried it and it's not bad.

I am sure there is. Try drinking hot lemon balm tea with some honey in it before going to bed, and try to get at least 7 hours of sleep. Try not to take any naps during the day. Also, use honey whenever you can in place of sugar.

I found that Vitamin B complex works well. Try All B with C. You can find it in any drug store, or chemist if you're a Brit.

SAMe and eat more oil rich fish. Consider a fish oil supplement.

Passiflora is good as an aid to calmness and a decent remedy for irritability and has helped me.

cocaine is natural

If you are depressed you should see a MD asap. So many people miss out on life because they are afraid of a stigma being attached to depression or any mental health issue. Don't be afraid sometimes the tiniest amount of medication can open up your entire world. It's not about narcotics, it's about meds that stimulate your natural brain chemistry. It can change your life for the better.

Yes and my brain is on off on this. I bought some pills at the health food store for my son,had a yellow label, My son was going thru a divorce. and they worked wonders. I will try to contact him and see if he remembers, but there are more out there than you think. Go to a good health food store with a knowledgeable owner they do help.I have a great one.
Good Luck

Try looking at Web MD, for that, that site is very informative and will give you different options. But there is alot of different prescription medications out, that wont conter-react to your birth control, just talk to your doctor. Zoloft is really mild, with no side effects, and you will feel so better. But if you are insisting on doing it the natural way, try doing Yoga, or any kind of exercise, to relax your mind, as well as reading the bible. Remember God can take anything we go through away!

exercise 100% natrual & effective! walk at least 30 min a day, i swear it works! its as effective or more than medication.good luck!

i know someone who swears by Agnus Castus capsules for hormone balance , not a tear in sight

Ice Cream

Check with the chinese herbalist. Their meds are very effective. Or, without meds, try the acupuncturist. Though these are new to us, they've been practiced for thousands of years. They really help!

You got lots of good advise.
I would also consider Bach Flower Remedies.
Bach flower remedies are a unique form of energy medicine that has become increasingly popular among alternative health care professionals; they are classified as homeopathic remedies in the United States and are part of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). Discovered by the English physician Edward Bach during the 1930s, the 38 flower tinctures are believed to heal emotional imbalances such as despondency, despair, and fear. Having been challenged by those patients whose chronic depressive symptoms were refractory to psychotherapy and/or medications, a colleague of mine began integrating Bach flower therapy into his psychotherapy practice about 3 years ago and has witnessed remarkable results.
You could look on this side http://www.virtuosity.net.au/bach-anxiet... to find some fitting remedies for yourself or go to a natural health care provider who uses them, to choose the remedies for you.

Bach Flower Remedies will not have any effect on birth control pills.
