"Natural" depression aids?
My Husband refuses to take an anti-depressant that is prescribed. He takes vitamins regularly and one that he takes (that I put in there) is the 5-HTP (forgive me if that is incorrect I hope you know what I mean. This actually seems to help a bit as I can tell when he does not take it for 2 days. Is there anything else you recommend for depression support? I can't be a smelly pill, a drink or something with an unpleasant taste as he won't take it.
Tammi, a writer here, Merely Me, just started a several part article about this. Here is Part One.
She herself uses something called SAM-e and wrote an article about that last year which you can reach through this link.
If you look at Part One, near the end, she lists some substances and is asking what you might like her to write about. Maybe you could leave her a comment on that post if there is something you want to know more about.
I think Part Two will come next week. A couple of other people here are familiar with, "natural aids," maybe they will see your question and help.
