What are some natural methods to treating depression and Generealized Anxiety Disorder?

I hate taking perscription drugs and often forget. Are there any natural or even herbal methods to treating dpression and generalized anxiety disorder?

Please no mean answers, Depression is serious and anything can trigger an attack.

Read Brain Allergies by William Philpott. Read about B vitamins and St. Johns Wort. That should be a start.

Be careful with herbs they can have side effects you don't want. Be sure to do the research. I have found homeopathic medication that help for anxiety. Try Hyland's Calms, get it at a nutrition store or organic grocery.

You really ought to check out support groups, too. I got a lot of help from Recovery, Inc. They teach you tools you can use to reduce the symptoms to a manageable level. It really does help a lot! It's kind of a cognitive therapy with their own language. Check your local paper for meetings in your area.

My doctor recommended St. John's Wort for me. It worked fairly well for many years.

I pray--HARD!
