What is the number one way to treatment depression without medications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No "best way": Alternative treatments for depression include exercise, eating a healthy diet, therapy, journaling, herbal supplements ( 5 htp, same and st john's wort) and supplements (vitamin d, b complex, omega 3). I can't really say there is one particular treatment that is the best. For severe depression a combination treatment of medication and therapy works best.
