To Shannon Patrick and anyone else dealing with depression by: Morgan
Just want to offer some love and encouragement to you.. I, too, suffer from depression, in large part due to my son's condition. Fyi, I started taking a supplement called 5 HTP (can be found in health food stores) for depression. It is working wonders for me and I've been depressed all my life. Bascially, it's just the stuff you find in turkey - tryptophan.. that makes you relaxed. Your body produces 5 HTP naturally. Anyway, just wanted to post this in case it can help anyone. Also, St. John's Wort (also sold at health food stores) is good for anxiety/depression and can be used in conjunction with 5 HTP.
