There might be hope for the people who've tried almost everything in the book to get rid of their depression. I'm one of those people. I've read a lot out there on depression and I may have some info you might need (or just not already know). I've tried those herbal (rip-off) remedies along with clinical antidepressants. Nothing so far has worked for me. However, there's a lot of information out there about depression and what it's believed to be caused from. There's a lot of things I've found out that might cause depression and it might be able to help you. There's also things I have read that might help cure depression.
I've read that eating sugar can lower your serotonin and endorphin levels, which could very easily cause depression and you'd never even consider that. Here's the website where I found that out: http://www.radiantrecovery.com/sensitive.html
Take a few minutes to just look over this website, it has some info that might be able to help you.I've also bought this book called "Beyond Prozac" and it states that 30 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise a day can dramatically increase serotonin (along with endorphin) levels naturally. This could be why people (like me) feel like they were so much happier at a young age. And that might be because we did alot more when we were younger. Another bit that might help you, incase you aren't already aware, stress (especially long-term) causes depression by depleting a lot of the chemicals in your brain that make you happy. So if you can, try not to get worked up about things as much.
If you have any questions, feedback, or advice, please email me at Jeffianity@yahoo.com, or post a follow up. Just so whoever's reading this knows, I'm still depressed, so my advice might not be the best you can get, but I've been trying things for a long ass time and I know there's other people out there like me. So if there's something that I might know about that might help you, even though it might not help me...it's worth telling about.

Since the focus of this board is on medication, I'd like to redirect this thread to Psycho-Social-Babble. Here's a link:
