What Have You Found to Be the Most Effectuve Way of Treating Severe Depression Without the Use of Drugs?
Question by Gypsyrose: What have you found to be the most effectuve way of treating severe depression without the use of drugs?
I have heard of lots of alternative treatments like hypnotherapy, even yoga etc helping. The depression has gotten worst in the last couple of months but has been there since a teenager for eight years. I really want to knock it on the head finally and stop it from disabling normal life functions any further. I am very interested in hearing what worked for different people. I am not keen to take more medication/ pills than absolutely necessary and if it is relevant i am in my mid twenties? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
