Depression Relief - Mood Elevating Herbs & Supplements  Natural Herbal Antidepressants - Safe Supplements and Nutrition for Depression - Mood Elevating Herbs, Vitamins & Minerals & omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil. The 2008 Anti-Depressant study was led by Professor Irving Kirsch from the University of Hull in the UK. He analysed 47 clinical trials and reviewed data not previously released by the drug companies. Commenting on the findings, Kirsch said: "The difference in improvement between patients taking placebos and patients taking anti-depressants is not very great. Herbal anti-depressants can make a big difference. We recommend a combination of mood elevating herbs, vitamins, minerals and omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil. Few people realize how important B vitamins are for a person's mood and the ability to handle and cope with stress. Marginal deficiencies in B vitamins can contribute to both anxiety and depression. The central nervous system is regulated by amino acids, and B vitamins are necessary for amino acid metabolism, healthy adrenal function and in the production of hormones, including DHEA. Vitamin B-6, for example, is a co-factor for the conversion of phenylalanine to norepinephrine and tryptophan to serotonin. The amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan are natural antidepressants. Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin, but few people know that it also helps create a sunny disposition, especially in the winter time. The benefits of selenium supplements are supported for a variety of conditions, including depression, lung, prostate and colon cancer, atherosclerosis, immune function, heart attack, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, infections and infertility. Taking this mineral is a no-brainer. Eating seafood twice a week and taking omega 3 fish oil capsules are very helpful for depression. Infant monkeys fed baby formula supplemented with omega-3 are stronger and more alert even at less than a week than monkeys given standard baby formula. Depression is 60 times higher in New Zealand, where the average consumption of seafood is 40 pounds a year compared to Japan, where a person consumes nearly 150 pounds of seafood a year. Don't tell Tom Cruise, but postpartum depression is 50 times more common in countries with low levels of seafood consumption. During pregnancy, a woman’s body becomes depleted of omega 3 fatty acids, which are transferred to the fetus. Research suggests that the herb St. John's Wort raises levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine -- neurotransmitters which help boost mental morale and mood. Unlike prescription anti-depressants (i.e., Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, etc.), which can cause negative side effects ranging from nausea to impaired sex drive and ejaculation, St. John's Wort has no documented cases of sexual dysfunction.

Symptoms of Depression may include:
It is important not to ignore depression for many reasons, especially in the early stages. For example, researchers at the VA Medical Center and the University of California in San Francisco found that depressed seniors are more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment within six years than those who are depression-free. Millions of Americans use antidepressants, which include Pfizer Inc.'s Zoloft, GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Paxil and Eli Lilly and Co.'s Prozac. Prozac, or fluoxetine, was the first SSRI, which stands for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration introduced "black box warnings" on the most popular SSRIs in 2004 after studies in the United States and Britain suggested the drugs may raise the risk of suicide in children and adults. Researchers in Canada report the risk of suicide among older patients appears to be increased during the first month of therapy with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. The more severe the depression, the greater the risk of the mental decline, according to the study, which appears in the March 2006 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.

People with higher concentrations of the essential vitamin in their blood may have more success in overcoming the blues, according to research published this past December in the journal BMC Psychiatry. Jukka Hintikka, a professor of psychiatry at Kuopio University in Finland, and colleagues measured vitamin B12 levels in 115 subjects with major depressive disorder. Measurements were taken at the beginning of treatment and then again six months later. A variety of antidepressants were used in treatment, and most participants also saw a therapist throughout the study. At the end of the study, participants were grouped according to treatment success. Those who improved the most had higher vitamin B12 levels. This was the case even when other major factors—such as smoking and drinking habits, type of treatment and a family history of depression—were taken into account. Hintikka notes that further research is needed to explain how B12 makes antidepressants work more effectively and why some depressed people have lower B12 levels. The vitamin is found naturally in foods like fish, milk, eggs and meat, and is also usually included in fortified cereals.
