i have been dealing with depression throughout my whole life but in the last 2 years it has just became unbearable. constantly being depressed i feel is making me a my husband grow apart and i worry that it is gonna have a longlasting affect on our marriage. all i want is to be normal again, i remember back to when i was happy and care free and now, its like my depression has consumed me. i have just recently re-established my relationship with god and have felt alot better than i have in a long time. im hoping that using "wort" will also help me too. any other remedies that might be useful for me?

How bad is your depression ? ie mild, moderate, severe, clinical...
Have you seen a doctor up till now, and have you been prescribed anything for it ?

i have seen a doctor in the past but it seems like it still doesnt help. no i am not on any meds and i wanted to just try out "wort" first before i take any hard core meds. i just feel that i am just stuck with this and i dont want to be anymore. i believe the severity of my depression changes every day. some days are worst than others. i know that god will help me get through this hard time in my life and that his spirit will help me cope with my depression. i have hope that i will be rid of this eventually.

Hi sad girl,
I am also going through a depressed time and started taking St john's Wort less than a week ago. I am hopeful that with SJW, prayers and support from my family and friends, I will overcome this. What I am finding helpful (I am feeling some relief for the past two days) is reading some positive texts by Joyce Meyer, (great Christian evangelist who really knows pain, as she's been there) ... on her website, there's a section called Help for the Hurting and a large selection of inspirational texts, such as "Victory over depression", "the cause and cure for worry" (the latter I find is really helping me, as I keep re- reading it and feel lighter already).
I will remember you in my prayers and KNOW that you will be able to enjoy your life again real soon. Have faith!

Hi, I used SJW for two weeks, there were no side effects - I realised I was suffereing from more than depression ie anxiety which leads to depression.
The SJW does handle depression but I went back on to Paxil (Paroxetine) to tacle the anxiety as I know it worked in the past. It takes two weeks at least to kick in.
Don't worry it is treatable.
