A member asked:
Scientists have discovered any over-the-counter medications for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depression: There are no over the counter pharmaceuticals for depression, but there are some herbal medications and supplements. St.John's wort has good evidence for effectiveness in mild-moderate depression, but not more severe cases. Sam-e is another possible help. It's best to have an evaluation of your depression by your family doctor or a psychiatrist first, though, to determine the severity.
