St Johns Wort is a herbal treatment for depression and lemon balm for anxiety. But your best bet is to get your doctor to refer you for therapy where you will be encouraged to perceive things in a way that will help overcome the depression and anxiety. Don't be worried your doc is going to force you to take medications, you have the right to say "No, what else you got?"

Please don't discard medication. There's a lot of bad mouthing on it on the web. SSRIs will make wonders and will make you feel normal again, and you only need to take them temporarily. You don't need to suffer. While you are under the influence of those, you can then work with a therapist to understand the underlining issues that are causing your symptoms. First you need to understand that you are sick, and you need treatment just as you would for any other malady. Please take care of your self whatever it takes, anything else is secondary

This is very good advice.

The above comments on talking with a behaviorist is great in helping understand yourself. For depression the best things are eating healthy and getting exercise, nothing major but a walk or bike around the block can help wonders. Stay away from sugars, caffine, prepackaged food and try to eat more greens and fruit.

For anxiety (I got off a benzo after years use) magnesium glycinate helps at night, l-theinine in the day. These are both natural + over the counter. Have your blood work checked. I was very low in vit D. Also natural techniques as breathing exercises, meditation, mindfulness + prayer can all help to calm you down.

Now, get up and move!

Medical marijuana. You have to get paper filled from your Dr. You don't have to smoke. They have all sorts of edibles. FYI

For many a select, quality Hemp FECO really helps. It's what I use. I don't live in a Medical Marijuana state but don't want to use much THC anyways.
