Alternative Treatments

A number of herbs, minerals, supplements, and alternative medicines have been promoted as remedies for depression. Always consult with your doctor before using any alternative treatment. Like any medication, some herbs, minerals, and other supplements can interact with drugs or foods and produce side effects. Just because something is natural does not mean that it is safe.

That's why it is important to consult with your doctor before using any alternative treatment.
