Question: St johns wort, will it help me.?
i don't do ANYTHING, my life is BORING and i'm seriously depressed, i don't leave the house for weeks on end... do you think these pills will ACTUALLY work.?.?.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Probably not.
St. John's Wort is effective for people with MILD depression...according to some people. The NIH did a study and found no evidence of the herb actually helping people with major depression--or any depression at all, actually.
Of course, you will always have people saying it helped. I mean, it's been proven that weight loss pills don't actually work, but you will always have people claiming that they worked for them. And maybe they did psychologically or something, but physically--chemically--they don't work. Same goes with St. John's Wort.
I know it's an attractive option because you don't have to go to the doctor and it seems like so much less of a big deal than 'real' medicaiton.
However, if you have a real problem, you need to see a doctor and get something more serious than St. John's Wort.Health Question & Answer
