St. John's Wort: St. Johns wort has some research support for mild-moderate depression -- not so much on anxiety. It would be in your best interest to get a professional evaluation of your anxiety first, so you know the type of anxiety you have. A few case reports show benefit with generalized anxiety disorder; 1 social phobia study shows no difference from placebo; ocd is similar. http://tinyurl.com/ltsnkwv.
