I've been wondering about alternative treatments for depression. I find myself suffering from depression again, and would like to treat it naturally. I had been on Zoloft previously and it did work as recommended with no side affects but I would like to stay off the pharmaceuticals. I am taking Levothyroxine for low thyroid and my thyroid levels have been fine recently.
I have been vegan for over 5 years now and eat a lot of raw food. I have been using several of the supplements recommended such as Iosol, conconut oil, and ground flax seed daily. I also take a womens multi-vitamin, iron supplement, Vitamin D and calcium. My vitamin levels were checked a few months ago, and this is why I am now taking the Vitamin D and calcium daily. Other than that everything was fine.
I am certainly not suicidal and never will be, but I have not been getting any exercise lately due to a long work commute. Also when it's hard to get out of bed in the morning, you certainly do not feel like exercising.
Any suggestions you can make would be helpful.
Thank You.
