Ok robots my depression is getting pretty bad. I was diagnosed as a kid but havent done anything about it because im retarded and my parents are embarrassed of me enough. I saw an anon say pic related helps a bit? I know its not a miracle cure but have any of you tried it? What does it do?
It didn't have enough of an effect on me that I can tell you for sure it wasn't placebo, but it may have provided a minor mood lift. I take it every day but fuck if I know if I'd feel any different if I stopped. I'll probably stop when I run out and order more if I feel it was having an effect.
Most studies seem to suggest it can help, though
OP here
I was also wondering if it really is available at Walmart like that anon said. Or a walgreens?

I take virgin coconut oil

and 5-htp which is a common supplement found in any pharmacy or wal-mart next to the st-johns wart and ginkgo biloba

it works great for me desu, coupled that with an active lifestyle and my depression is gone or at the very kept very far away.
Also, Salvia Divinorum and Psiclocybin mushrooms for anxiety.
OP, St Johns Wort is basically an herbal SSRI, so it may help some people but personally I hate the "numbness" feeling of SSRIs.

It is, though you'll probably get better prices online. If you get it in person, try and find a drug store that has 2 for 1 on supplements
>>34270197
Yup, that and all the other herbal supplements like >>34270304
should all be available at any decent store.
5-htp is also great for lucid dreaming.

Get SAMe, it's the only supplement for depression that I remotely felt any change in my mood. I don't take it anymore because now I just smoke weed all day; but if you're not into dank nugs this would be an ok alternative

>I don't take it anymore because now I just smoke weed all day; but if you're not into dank nugs
I'm not OP, but for me smoking weed was not great for my depression.
It did help at first, but it reached a point of diminishing returns and eventually made it worse. You reach that point of just sitting around all day getting high and watching documentaries about the end of the world and reading threads on /r9k/ and reading about whichever side of the political spectrum makes you upset whether it's the ess jay dubs or the cuck right. Weed is like a magnifying glass for your emotions and thoughts and your environment.

Just drink the tea of it, a source says it only helps for minor depression not severe/chronic depression, but maybe that's because pharmaceutical companies do not make money with St. John's Wort, how the hell do I know?
>went to the psych expecting getting hooked on on some dope SSRIs
>get prescribed St Johns wort capsules instead
reee
loose weight op
or if you gonna try drug try 5-htp or do a trip of lsd

I've tried it and it didn't really do anything. Just get a prescription for actual antidepressants.
I heard that it could negatively affect your eyesight or whatever, and just decided not to take it, considering that my eyes are shit already.
