Typical treatment is a combination of talk therapy and prescription drugs; however, there are an increasing number of localised support groups that offer a listening ear and helping hand.
You can also find many natural herbal medications, which have been proved to be an effective remedy in many clinical studies, which is why natural cures are becoming much more popular today.
St. Johns Wort extract is one of the most popular herbal cures on the market, but to be effective it must contain around 3-5% Hyperforin; Recent studies by the Centre for Complementary Medicine found that St John's Wort can be just as effective as Prozac, and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; revealing fewer side effects with capsules or tablets of 300/450mg achieving the best results.
If you, or someone you love, are experiencing symptoms of lingering depression, please consult a medical professional for help with diagnosis, and effective treatment straight away.
