Anti Depressant Natural Alternative:St John's Wort By MrsSpy on Dec 21, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I learned about St John's Wort from my husband's niece whose mom has been suffering from depression and anxiety for 20 years now. Her mom used to take anti-depression tablets for more than 10 years already. Due to fear of long term side effects of taking medications for her depression, she asked her doctor if she can take a better and natural alternative. She was advised by her doctor to take St John's Wort Anti-Stress Tablets. I was also diagnosed with depression few years back. I used to take anti-depressant tablets as well. However, I decided to stop my medication, also due to fear of side effects. The fact that I was also breast feeding my son when I started the medication gave me the fear that it might also have a long term effect on him. I also asked my doctor about St. John's Wort and he recommended it to me with all confidence.

I have been using St John's Wort for more than a year now. I should say that I am doing very well and coping up with daily stress. It feels good that with St John's Wort I am able to relieve myself of tension or stress that could lead to depression. Aside from taking St John's Wort I am also doing my regular routine of exercise, proper diet and taking some essential vitamins to keep me mentally and physically healthy.

St John's Wort assists in relieving nervous tension and mild anxiety. It may be beneficial during times of stress and may assist in the management of stress disorders. Ask your doctor about it if you think you need to take it.
