What is the best natural alternative anti depressant for sertraline in first trimester of pregnancy?

Light therapy: As a safe alternative to antidepressants during pregnancy, try using a light therapy box specifically designed to treat seasonal affective disorder. These boxes can be effective for non seasonal depression and emit no damaging UV rays. Sit within 2 feet of the box and look towards the light for 30 minutes each morning. You should notice an improvement within 1 week of consistent use.

Would recommend: avoiding herbals/ supplements during pregnancy. Non - med options: Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Work to get 8 hours or > of sleep per night & eat healthfully. Daily aerobic exercise is a big +. Recommend the “Feeling Good Book' by Dr. David Burns. Would not stop or start new medications w/o medical input. Take care.
