Pseudoscience?

Any thoughts on homeopathy for depression and anxiety? What about Ayurveda and Sattvic diet? I hear mixed messages on these kinds of remedies, ranging from "No, it's pseudoscientific BS" to "The evidence is mixed" to "Yes, it works, but people remain skeptical because it doesn't fit the current reductionist paradigm." Does anyone here know the actual facts? Thanks!

I don't know much however I will put my 2 cents in. I have not found a medication that has made my issues go away. So I am using homeopathic methods. Balance work, family, chores, sleep, me time etc. I try to eat foods with calm and relaxing nutrients in them. Drink plenty of water, exercise, take vitamins and over the counter medicine when needed. Life is not perfect however is helping.

My spouse has issues too. He has found a prescribed medication that definitely has helped. As I said, life is not perfect. We are both trying what works best for ourselves and are trying to be good to one another. Supporting one another's well beings. Marriage is no picnic but there are a lot of better days with some sort of plan in action.
