I'm getting depressed just by hearing her talk.

I have to admit I've taken St John's Wort for about 5 months now and it has worked wonders, It takes a while for it to build up and alot of people shy away from it as they think it's not working but you have to give it time just like with any other anti-depressant, it has lifted my physical symptoms as well.

I smoke it. Works great and fast.

St johns wort is great!! I was taking citalopram for moderate depression and the side effect were horrible, insomnia and sick feelings were common. So I decided to ditch the chemicals for natures way and it has been great so far. I am not saying that you should take prescription drugs but this herb is incredibly potent!!

It is true that negative thought patterns will influnce the chemicals, but it does not "change" them if you want to be specific, it increases/decreases uptake of certain chemicals that contribute to feelings/sypmtoms of depression.

Therefore, pharmaceutical drugs DO cure depression because they will inhibit or increase uptake of the certain chemicals that are causing it.

Although drugs/herbs CAN cure depression, that's not to say it won't come back. But depression isn't something one "creates"

@RedTailedTuna That makes no sense. Depression is an inbalance of chemicals in the body, and people don't get depression so they can survive, people with depression often committ suicide.

@RedTailedTuna it is supposed to better your mood. If you generally feel a little better, think a little clearer, then changes can be made within yourself and your own behaviors and thought. Think of it like this, you are very trapped in your own mind and you don't realize it until you take this, it lifts a little weight off and you become slightly relieved. not saying it would happen to everyone else, but it's cheap and over the counter, might as well try.

[RedTailedTuna]

No herbs or medicine will resolve depression. Depression is a pattern of thought and a way of being, in which the individual has created to be safe in their environment, so they can survive.
