that depends on what type of depression you have, if its a chemical imbalance then you will need anti-depressents, if your feeling depressed, some things you can do are keep a journal, think positive, spend some time alone at a park or beach walking around, or extercise, if none of those things help you then you will need to see a psychologistWww@Answer-Health@Com

Ask yourself: "Why do I feel depressed, and when did I first start to feel this way: can I associate this with any recent change in my life!?" (if so, it is probably reactive [situational] depression: counselling, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy may be indicated, but most of life's adverse situations are resolved within 16 weeks, yet the medical criteria for depression, and the prescription of antidepressants is only 2 weeks!)!. Or, was it a more gradual thing, with no apparent cause!? (a nutritional deficiency, hypothyroidism, environmental toxicity, or reactions to some medications, etc!., becomes more likely as the cause)!. Antidepressants work quicker than the following; 2 - 6 weeks, but you may have to adjust dosage, or types!. St!.

It doesn't cause sleeping problems, or weight change, but usually takes at least 2, and generally 4 - 6 weeks to become effective, but can work quicker than antidepressants, sometimes!. A recent, independent German double blind study showed it to be as effective as a commonly prescribed antidepressant, in cases of major depression, with far fewer side effects, and those were generally better tolerated, with a lower rate of discontinuation!. Unlike antidepressants, where sexual dysfunction is a common side effect, it happens much more rarely with St!. John's wort (I have noticed no effect in this area)!. A multidimensional approach to treating depression without medication follows!. All except for no!. (7!.) are safe to use with medication, but not St!. John's wort, because of interactions, and it's sensible to check out anything else first with your doctor!.

(1!.) Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or grapefruit, or their FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice!. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it!. In the winter months, if not getting sufficient daily exposure to strong light, see http://www!.mercola!.com/ SEARCHBAR: enter: "vitamin D3", & Go to a doctor and ask for a 25(OH)D, also called 25-hydroxyvitamin D, blood test!. When you get the results, don
