I take an herbal remedy for depression/anxiety. Although I have experienced severe depression just a few times, it is enough to give me a profound respect for what people go through that have it. I mostly had generalized anxiety, at times it got to the point where I was semi-delusional. When I started taking the supplement (St. John's Wort) it was like I had my normal self back. I still worry but it does not possess me. I have tried going off it a couple of times but I always go back on.
