Anyone reading this take either of these for depression, or, what other natural remedy do you use?
I have been taking cod liver oil every day, ( has Vit D3 in it), and, it does seem to help a little of the anxiety.
My doctor just started me on Sertraline ( Zoloft is a brand name ), for anxiety depression, so, I have to give it a few weeks, but, if that doesn't work, I'm looking to natural remedies.

Prescription drugs treat symptoms , not the underlying causes. That said , they can be of short term benefit, but are almost always long term dangerous. Cocaine use to be prescribed for depression.
Natural remedies include: Lemon Balm, Scullcap, PassionFlower, St. Johns Wort , Rhodiola Root , Fish Oil , Turmeric , and a host of other herbs.
A diet rich in Organic Produce is highly beneficial and aids the root of any physical problems, brain included.
Daily exercise in nature and a week camping out can reset the biological clock, which results in a far better mood.
