Best Ways to Manage Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Herbal And Vitamin Remedies

Research shows St. John's wort is just as effective in the treatment of depression as certain prescription medications. This home remedy now has a reputation as a mild antidepressant. Studies have shown one of the components of St. John's wort indirectly helps increase the mood-boosting brain chemical serotonin. Multivitamins and mineral supplements that contain vitamin B6, thiamin, and folic acid have also been shown to benefit an individual's mood when taken appropriately. Of course, however, seasonal affective disorder patients, just like anyone else, must be sure to consult a doctor before taking any herbal supplements.
