🌿 Depression: A holistic perspective and herbal solutions by Simon Mills, herbalist
There seems to be a lot of unhappiness about: demand for antidepressant prescriptions – which were designed to treat major depressive disorders – has been increasing for decades, in some countries to alarming levels. This raises some pressing questions, though without easy answers. Are we less prepared to tolerate low moods? Is depression being over diagnosed?

This review will help at least to address another question: could herbs help?
