This is day 11 of 31 Days of Finding Joy in Depression. Yesterday, I shared about medication and depression. Today, let’s look at natural treatments and remedies for depression.
After about six months on medication for my depression, I tried going off and using natural herbal remedies as a treatment for my depression. I made an agreement with Josh and my mentor to try it for a few weeks and see how it worked. During that time, we’d continually discuss the differences in my mood.
I really wanted the natural treatments and remedies to work. Somewhere around 14-21 days I gave up. It was just not working for me. I went back to the medication. Medication is the best option for my depression and I have come to accept that.
Have you tried natural treatments and remedies for your depression? Did find any that worked well?
