Depression
"Without a doubt, St John&#039;s Wort works for depression. I have been on 3 different SSRIs and none have had the effect St John&#039;s Wort has. It has calmed insesent worrying and has all almost completely recovered a fairly moderate depression. I have had side effects of dry mouth, altered taste, slight tingling and a lowered appetite bit these side effects are much gentler than the sledge hammer side effects I usually  get from SSRIs. Overall, a really great herb with fairly amazing mood altering effects."
