Do you know of any natural antidepressants?
When I say ‘natural’ I mean things that I can buy or do, but not medication. The thing is I’m starting a new year at school and I feel depressed already. I hate the feeling but I can’t talk to my parents about help. I really, really need to feel better because I want to better at school and possibly, in life. I’ve already heard about incense. Anything else?
Take a multivitamin, look for something that is high in B-complex, this vitamins(b-complex) if taken in a balance dose helps to relax you and relieves stress.
Also try 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) they really works.
Exercise also relieves stress and releases tension. It can improve blood circulation, thus releases toxins which may trigger depressions.
Try jogging and brisk walking, it is a good start for healthy living.
When you are down you can have a bite of chocolate. Studies shows that there is a chemical thing in a cocoa that triggers the release of endorphins. This is a natural chemical in the body that makes a person happy. Expert recommend to take eat the chocolate with darker color (not the white) because they are rich in this chemical.
Take a warm bath every night before sleeping it helps to sooth you.
When sleeping you can light scented candles or ar aromatic oils also. It can relax you more. Try scents like rosemary.
But if you are into herbs you can try them as well.
Some have done wonders to other people.
But you have to consult an expert about herbs on how to use them and what should not be taken together with them.
It is available in all health store. Also in some health store ( like GNC or healthy options) there are some Pharmacists who are expert in Alternative Medicines, you can ask for their recommendations.

Take a good multivitamin supplement, some 5htp, l-tyrosine, and perhaps even some l-theanine as well as eating right and drinking green tea. you can go to this really great site vitacost.com to get some of this stuff. it’s worth it and could prevent you from having to take medication that has side effects and is potentially addictive.

Taking care of your body is a good way to help depression. Exercise can help because it is good for the body and it produces endorphins which help your mood: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/depression-and-exercise/MH00043
Exercise doesn’t have to mean going to a gym. It could mean taking walks, going on a bike ride, going out dancing, etc.
I’d also recommend cutting back on sugary food because they can cause an energy crash which doesn’t feel good.
If you would rather not talk to your parents, you could try talking to a counselor at school also. They can’t tell your parents what you say (unless you tell them that you are planning to hurt yourself or someone else).

Yes:
1) Wild Kratom - strongest and my favorite
2) Ecsphoria - simply amazing!
3) Salvia - kinda tricky to work with since it’s very powerful
4) Kava-Kava - i hate the taste but it works

Drink some Herbal Tea. Try Easy Now. It is made of peppermint,Spearmint. Yoga and Meditation can help too. But it is not a magic that will work overnight. You will need time to realise the benefits.

Keeping up with your health is the most consistent way to nip depression at the bud. Exercise every day, and eat colorful food, and stay hydrated. Fatigue and depression are often mistaken for eachother.
I personally use 5- htp and it works great.

5HTP all the way. It’s a serotonin replacement therapy; serotonin is the neurotransmitter in your brain that makes you have feelings of happiness. It’s a bit expensive but I’m almost positive you’ll notice a big difference in your mood. You can buy it at any drug store. I’d suggest taking it at night time because it can make you a bit drowsy.
Good luck, I hope this works for you.

Cuppa black tea however you take it and some biscuits. That tends to relieve whatever is ailing me.
