I am a 53 year old male,I am suffering from mild depression, I am having trouble getting out of 1st gear and finishing a large home improvement project,I feel a bit overwhelmed. Is there anything in the way of an over the counter medicine ( herbal perhaps ) that will help elevate my mood?

    Some people find St John’s Wort helpful for mild depression. However it is essential if you are taking any medicines that you discuss with a pharmacist or doctor first. St John’s Wort alters the way in which the body processes some drugs. (The most common example, which doesn’t apply to you, is that it reduces the effectiveness of some contraceptive pills, and quite a few women have become pregnant as a result.)

    If your problem persists see your doctor.
