Answer 2

Well, we've got thousands of customers that get a lot of benefits from any of several very popular mood support supplements. Specifically, some of the most popular are St. John's Wort, SAMe, 5-HTP (or Tryptophan), Rhodiola Rosea, and some stress-relievers like GABA or L-Theanine can help, too.

Also, according to studies I've read, the suicide rate is quite a bit higher for those who are on antidepressant drugs (compared to other groups, whether depressed or not) and I've heard about studies that show those same drugs have about the same effect on mood as a placebo. I'd do the research before going for either method if I needed help with depression, personally. Good luck!
