This herbal tea is recognized for its calming properties and is used by people seeking help with sleep. Those suffering depression are often affected by insomnia or difficulty staying asleep, so drinking chamomile tea before bed may prove effective. It appears a flavonoid in the tea is responsible for the resulting relaxation. A tea bag or loose leaves are steeped in boiling water for about five minutes, and for flavor, milk and honey can be added.

Talking about problems or personal issues with an unbiased listener can help battle depression in some people better than keeping these thoughts inside. The private setting is peaceful, and one can let go of feelings in a supportive atmosphere, confident the information will not leave the room. A therapist can become part of an effective team of professionals, agroup of other coordinating remedies, or as a sole solution. It just takes trust for a strong relationship to take hold.
