I’ve tried b-12s and Omega 3-6-9. Any other over the counter methods to combat depression?

    If you are still fighting depression, see your doctor - could be an “organic” or disease cause - really, make an appointment.

    You know what I do when I’m depressed? I go outside. I go outside and I throw logs as far as I can until I can no longer do so. This release of energy helps me greatly.

    Exercise is the best way to combat depression.

    how about just going out and doing something, try some new activity…

    Exercise is a great way to combat depression; it releases feel good endorphins. In addition it can help you lose weight which is also a nice little boost to your self-image.

    Definately St. John’s Wort, and lots of sunshine. Light makes people happy. Perhaps get a dog. I am on medication myself, and it’s not bad. Be sure to stay away from drugs and alcohol, ’cause they make it worse.

    St John’s Wort helped me quite a bit, although it does increase your sensitivity to the sun. (Always wear sunblock when going outside in the spring/summer/fall.)

    Also, working out and yoga are very helpful. Go, endorphins! :)
    Hope you find a method that’s right for you, and that you feel better soon.

    A Good night’s rest between 8-10 hours. A walk outside when it is a sunny day out. Eating a well balanced diet with plenty of meat, veggies and desserts. Take a Centrum Vitamin every day after brushing your teeth. Exercise - walking, swimming, or something fun.

    If nothing else works, see a doctor.

    Personally, Centrum did it for me and walking and swimming and scuba diving.
