I feel depressed all the time but i don't want to tell my parents about it. I read that you can take St. John's Wort and it should help. Where can i get this?


Answer:
It would be superior yet for you to speak with a counselor or someone who can help you find out the reason for your depression. Drugs as well as herbal supplements can indeed make you feel superior, but it won't get rid of the underlying problem of what’s depressing you in the first place.
If you do decide to use St. John's Wort, please be aware of the side effects and cautions of this herb.

High blood pressure, headaches, stiff neck, nausea, and vomiting. In the fair-skinned, it can exacerbate sunburn and cause blistering after sun exposure.
