Here is a tip from Doc Oz!
Some of the supplements that are purported to help anxiety and depression are omega 3 fatty acids (which are so safe that this supplement should be a no-brainer, and it helps make you brainier-600mg a day for adults makes a big difference). By the way, the reason that 99.7 percent of infant formula in the US contains plant based DHA Omega 3 supplements is that the IQ of infants fed with it is 10 to 18 IQ points higher 6 months and 6 years later than in those who receive nonsupplemented infant formula. New mothers can reduce postpartum depression if they add 600 mg of plant based DHA Omega 3 (or 2 grams of fish oil) to the daily diet. DHEA (which should never be taken without checking your blood levels first), SAMe, kava root, and Saint-John’s-wort also have substantial data supporting their benefit for depression treatment and suppression. We favor DHA and SAMe, as Saint-John’s-wort has a lot of conflicting data. You should absolutely discuss SAMe and Saint-John’s-wort with your doc, because there can be some interactions with other antidepressants.
Make sure to take your Omegas!!!
