What vitamins and herbs are good for depression?


Well, I take at least 1000 mg to 3000 mg of fish oil a day, along with my prescription medication, and it seems to prevent my mood swings from being too drastic. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, so I have the "highs" and the "lows." I still get manic or depressed, but it doesn’t seem to be so bad when I do after I started the fish oil.

You can discuss fish oil with your doctor, along with other vitamins or herbs others may suggest.

I have heard that St. John’s Wort is good for depression, but do not take it if you are already on an anti-depressant or other psych meds. It can have a VERY adverse effect on anyone taking anti-depressants.

I also take a sublingual B vitamin complex, which has seemed to help as well.
