Quoted By:
I would like to notify any Americans participating in this thread of the fact that St. John's Wort, an herb that some research suggests may act as an antidepressant (SSRI), is sold over the counter in the US in many stores that sell supplements, including Walmart. It supposedly only takes about two weeks to lift mood. No, it can't be expected to work for everyone. Still, if you're having trouble getting over the hurdle of getting a prescription for an antidepressant and don't want to reach out for help for whatever reason, this is a chemical solution that should be available to you. If nothing else, it may remind you of what it feels like to be happy. In my case, it seemed to give me motivation and improve my ability to cope with circumstances that would otherwise be unpleasant. As always, do your own research. I am not a medical professional. Yes, I work for the St. John's Wort companies. (I don't.)
