Depression Natural Remedies

Does anyone know of any natural remedies to combat depression? I don't want to get on any type of prescription drugs. I know my depressions is caused by chemical inbalances, so I would like to use natural things. Any sugestions?

Oh my goodness, there are so any things you can do. Not all will work for you as everyone is different. I have tried all of these, and found some more effective then others. (I have a hormonal imbalance.)
Some sort of physical activity, which give you endorphins.
St. John's Wort, Lemon Balm, Siberian Ginseng, Dandelion, Damiana, Epimedium.
Also, you might have a nutritional shortage, so a multi-vitamin may come in handy to replenish yourself.
If none of these work, don't give up. There's so many options available to you.

My friend is autistic and has severe clinical depression unfortuanately just about everything his docs give him has caused really horrible side effects. They're still working on something safe but in the mean time he's dealing with some really serious depression. What are some safe natural inexpensive remedies for depression. I'm really worried about him and want to help. If you have any suggestions I'd really appriciate it.

a few days ago; I wrote a blog entry on my 360 page about "the five mahalos" a technology from old hawai'i that helps change the way you think consciously and subconscoiously.

Feel free to read the blog entry. I would also recommend fetting two of the following crystals.

Agate, Anethyst, and Obsidian

Take one of each and place them under your pillow, then the other three carry them on your person 24/7

I know exercise helps, any natural methods and foods that can have a mood enhancing effect?
I'd highly doubt that woulBrazilian Ju Jitzud be possible, I study both Aikido and Brazilian Jujitzu, but if you see me one day you're free to take a shot :)

I went to a health food store for stress and depression and an herbalist recommended 3 things that she uses and they have made a remarkable difference in how I feel. Rhodila 300 (root), B-complex, and Fish oil gel caps. It has been three weeks and I feel like a new person and was able to control a very bad habit that was causing me big problems.

I have tied all kinds of other things and never felt a difference, the difference I am feeling now feels like a miracle. I have also been listening to hypnosis CD' which I think helped but when I started taking the supplements I noticed a remarkable difference.

The "drug" route is a last resort scenario... are there any herbs or natural supplements that can be useful in combating depression?

This isn't a herb, but it is a chemical which is a precursor to help produce more endorphins. It's L-Phenylalanine, an amino acid which is the chemical mirror to the artificial sweetener
R-Phenylalanine. I could not stand Prozac so I found this helps a lot.
Then there's chocolate. Real chocolate or Cocoa. One of the few really good things which also has several health benefits including combating depression.
Oh, and don't watch the news. I know several people who got all involved with Scott and Lacy Peterson and the girl who went missing in Aruba. They would tune in every night for their dose of depressing news and internalize someone else's problems. We don't know these people and their problems are not really part of our lives unless we let the news make it part of our lives.

St. johns wort worked for me for the depression. You can pick this up at any drug store. Try working out for the insomnia. Usually if you work out 3 times per wk your body will allow you to go to sleep easier.
