there's medicinal herbs that will boost your mood, but if your depression is the result of a chemical imbalance (as most cases are) i'm afraid you are going to have to see a doctor. Just make sure that what he prescribes you is something that you agree with. Do some research on different antidepressants. I will say right now to stay away from Effexor XR. Bad, bad, bad.

I've found that taking vitamin B Complex + C helps take the edge off. The store brand works fine and isn't expensive... sometimes you buy 1 get 1 free. I did a search for mood enhancement vitamins and found that all of the B vitamins and C help alot.
My Pharmacist agreed with the benefits of taking them. If you're taking any medications, tell the pharmacist... It's alot easier to talk to a pharmacist than a doctor... and it doesn't cost anything for their knowledge.
I've been on B Complex for about a month or 2. I'm not 100% yet, but I do feel noticeably better.
DON'T TAKE MORE THAN THE PACKAGE SAYS TO !!!
THEY'RE VERY STRONG!!!

Good luck, hope this helps.

I've had enough of it all, all i want is some ****ING DRUGS TO MAKE ME BETTER. I'm going to go to my health clinic at 9am tomorrow and i dont even care if i need an appointment. I will wait around the whole day and hopefully speak to someone. AT THE MOMENT I JUST WANT TO GIVE UP. I AM SO ****ED OFF WITH MY LIFE. I really want to start a new life but theres this ****ING MENTAL BLOCK!!!!.

Actually Antidepressants work slow.

Best bet is try a board certified psychiatrist.

Also Louise Hay and Dr. Phil have great audiobooks that work really fast for me.
