Causes of anxiety and depression?

Open question. What are the solutions that can be taken outside of pharmaceuticals? What works for you?

I'm currently taking pharmaceuticals, but I tried some natural remedies first. The most effective was Tumeric for depression. It helped... a little. I just needed bigger guns.

I've heard that somewhere as well. Wow, I'm always open for the natural methods as they usually offer added benefits, no side effects. Thank you JAYnLA 😊

I know that Vitamin B12 & B6 along with zinc have helped me some. Also, Vitamin D. I need to start taking them again, even with my Antidepressant.

I don't know why I stop taking them when I run out...

I was prescribed 50,000 IU's 1x a week of D2. B6 I was taking 100mg's & B12 sublingual whatever the recommended dosage is.

I don't like taking a lot of pills of any type, but they did help.

I was recently prescribed prescription grade Vitamin D after blood worked determined l was deficient of or. Noticed big difference after 3 weeks. It's been a big help. Brighter world. It's allowed me to also get my sleep in order as well. Good one Kitty_Love. Thanks. ☀️

How much tumeric? Like in a drink or cooked in food ? I'm willing to try it. Thank you!

[JAYnLA in reply to Hidden]

I don't remember the dose, but it was a supplement. If you Google 'tumeric for depression' you'll probably find some articles about it - that's what prompted me to try it.

My service dog. He keeps me going even when I want to lock myself away. He alerts to it so I know I'm going through one of my times. Self care. I have learned what I need to do to get through another severe round. My dog makes sure I do what needs to be done.

I asked the same question just the other day on my post, so feel free to go to my post and read through the comments to see what everybody said. They helped me.
