Is there
something natural for treatment of depression. i am fed up with the side
effects of the medications? Part 1
Depression is a common mental health disorder and even though medications are available for treatment, the majority of patients develop either disturbing side effects or resistance. So far, treatment of resistant depression has been a challenge. Many drugs and supplements have been tried out in the past but the results have been abysmal.
Now finally there is a study that shows that use of S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe) with an SSRI can help improve outcome in chronically depressed patients. SAMe has been around for more than 30 years and is well known for its long term anti depressant effects. However, its short-term benefits were known until recently.
A recent trial with SAMe showed significant improvements in depression compared to previous therapies. SAMe was also found to be well tolerated. Of the side effects, a few patients did develop slightly elevated blood pressure that researchers felt was of medical significance.
