What is the most effective natural remedy for anxiety and depression?

Question

I suffer from anxiety and depression and don't want to use any syntetic medicin. does anybody knows what would be the most effective natural remedy for anxiety and deppresion?

Answer 1

Vitamin B & C supplements, calcium, magnesium, tryptophan, St. John's wart, valerian.

As with all dietary supplements, more is not better...and can even be harmful to your health. Before supplementing your diet with anything-vitamins, minerals, herbs, an so on-it's important to consult your doctor, since many of these may negatively interact with medications (prescribed, over-the-counter, or recreational), including alcohol.

Answer 2

Also a sufferer. Vitamin B complex possibly injected. Essential fatty acids. Excercise. And the best book on depression and anxiety is called Feeling Good the new mood therapy by Dr David D Burns. It is based on cognitive therapy. Its practical, not new agey emotional c**p. I've read a lot of books on the subject. This one is the best. Actually, look up cognitive therapy on the net to get an idea of it.

BUT I was very against medication for years and had so many c**p Drs I was losing hope. I finally found a fantastic Psychiastrist who diagnosed me with Bi polar 2. It has many of the same symptoms of depression and anxiety and I decided at last to try medication. He monitered me very closely and increased my dosage very slowly. I do feel better now we are working on my issues. If the above does not work at least see a psychologist or psychiatrist. They can't make you do anything you don't want to do but you never know. Sometimes it feels hopeless but keep fighting.

Answer 10

Hello,

Try these 3 steps. Seriously, it works and involves no medication of hospital visits.

Okay...

The first step is to stop fighting your panic attacks. This is an important step, though not an easy one. How do you do this? Firstly, by understanding that all those unpleasant symptoms you experience with each attack is nothing more than exaggerated reactions to stress in your body, and knowing therefore that you will be alright.

See, as bad as it feels, and as terrifying an experience anxiety and panic attacks can be, ultimately those feelings are not life threatening, and they will pass.

So, the first step is to stop fighting. Just accept it for what it is, and allow it to take its course. Force always negates, so you can't make this any easier by force alone. But you can make it easier by doing your very best to relax through it.

The second step is to get educated and create your very own plan of action, one which has been chosen to cure your panic attacks completely, rather than just reduce the effects.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, and it is this "thing" which can set you free.

The first piece of knowledge you should fully embrace and own, is that good health is natural and is your birth right. Having panic attacks is unnatural, and therefore must be temporary. Think about that. You truly are designed to be healthy, as we all are. When ever we fall to illness, something has gone a miss, and this state of illness is unnatural and temporary.

The second piece of knowledge you need, which builds on the above, is that thousands upon thousands of people just like you, now no longer have panic attacks. They cured themselves completely.

Best of all, there are methods (or plans) out there which have been used by so many people, they are now proven to work and will likely work for anyone who also follows the same method.

So, you do not need to create from scratch, a plan for curing your condition, because there are already effective and proven plans out there for you to just pick up and run with. The thinking on this step has been done for you.

Of course, if you didn't believe that you can be healthy, or if you believed that illness is natural, then you might not ever look for such proven methods. You would be convinced that they didn't really exist.

So - knowing (the knowledge) that good health is indeed natural, you can begin to select your plan of action which will restore your health to natures way. Knowledge gave you this chance.

Here is my review of such method:

Many thousands have had success with it.

Moving on..

The third and final step is to simply take action on the plan you have chosen. The thinking has been done for you, so now all that needs to be done is to carry out the instructions given from the method you have chosen.

I am confident you will find relief.

Good luck!
