    Seriously great. I found that along with a healthy diet, drinking more water helped me a ton. I am always surprised how much the little things matter as I recover from depression… Things I had convinced myself were not important.

    🦋 I have suffered for many years and depression from not understanding how to get through the day. One thing I realized was that I had to understand why I felt this way. I took all sorts of supplements, vitamins and changed my diet a million times. After years of prayer I realized that I was depressed because I had a lot of trauma and my body had accumulated unresolved stress and heavy metals. I started detoxing and slowly working towards healing. there are a lot of things that can be done.

    1 Journaling: helps you reflect and understand that you need to forgive yourself and let go of the past. 2: Walking: Helps you relax your nervous system and get some fresh air and sunshine. 3 Supplements: I have found that vitamin D, magnesium and zinc really help a lot. I recommend cod liver oil every day. 4. Reading: it helped me understand my traumas thanks to the experiences of others. A read that changed my life is "Everything will be fine I promise" by Faouzi Zouhair. It's a beautiful read of thoughts and reflections that help heal. 5: Sauna for sweating. Sweating helps get rid of heavy metals. I recommend it together with binders such as zeolite or activated carbon. 6. Sleeping well is a key point to reset your body and feel good. 7. Move away from toxic people. 8. meditate or pray. 9. Have faith that everything will go well.

    Whoever is reading I wish you well and know that you are enough.🦋🦋

    The first step that people use is to first have your Gut checked. Your Gut connects directly with your brain.Most people are having low production of acidity in the stomach which messes your whole body.One other herb is called sour sap.people find it very helpful. Hopefully this helps someone. All the best.

    I was cured of severe depresison thanks to a Chinese doctor who traced it to bad gut bacteria. I already had known that five foods were behind it, but she explained that gut bacteria needed to be killed and that I needed antibiotics. I took three types, one of them Doxycyline, and was cured within days. Now I can eat whatever I want.

    everyone is going to ignore that he said it usually helps with mild to moderate depression. most of those people that complain about their depression does not even know what severe depression feels like.

    Feeling overwhelmed by depression was a daily struggle for me. Planet Ayurveda's products provided a natural and effective solution. The herbal formulas they
    use are amazing, and I feel much better mentally and emotionally since I started using them.

    Therapists and psychologists are the worst at treating depression.
    Talk therapy just doesnt work and replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations when soneone is literally in a hole has little to no effect unfortunately.
    There really is No good treatment available and that's why so many ppl suffer.

    Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
