Depression
Depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of loss, anger, sadness, or frustration interfere with everyday life

More than just feeling blue, depression is a devastating illness that affects every aspect of a person's life-physical, mental, and emotional. It influences an individual's self-esteem and perception of others, and a person with depression has difficulty performing ordinary daily activities. For mild depression, St. John's wort may be a beneficial and safe alternative to prescription drugs, which often have side effects. For people over age 50, ginkgo biloba appears to combat depression better than - and may be used instead of - St. John's wort.

Valerian root (Valerian officinalis)—may improve symptoms of insomnia associated with depression
Damiana (Turnera diffusa)—may reduce sexual dysfunction associated with many antidepressant medications
Ginseng (Panax ginseng)—may help the body resist stress
