Natural remedies for mood swings....!
Question: Natural remedies for mood swings........
I was looking on line and there is so much confusing info............Is anyone treating mild symptoms of depression, mania, anxiety, etc with natural remedies.? My doctor says I don't need medicine, and just gave me a small sedative for nights to sleep when I need some help.. I just feel like I need something to "take the edge off" the stress and help me cope a bit better, ease the intermittent anxiety and calm down the effects of pressure from the outside world.. I do have mood swings, but never severe depression or severe mania.. I just need a natural mental health tuneup to get myself in check, you know.? Anyone out there been through this.? I just am a little confused with everything out there.. Lithium orotate, choline, 5 htp, omega 3's with omega 6's, kava kava, it just goes on and on.. Thanks..Health Question & Answer

A good B-Complex would be helpful.. The B vitamins feed the nerves and have a profound effect on mental and emotional stability.. Stress, medications, sugars and alcohol all rob the body of B vitamins..
also, all natural Stress Relief Complex.. It helps us to adapt to stress and does not cause drowsiness, It creates a very alert state of mind while remaining relaxed and tranquil and has no Kava..Health Question & Answer

Well, there are a few possibilities.. If it's due to hormone fluctuations, there are a few things that may help like Dong Quai, Black Cohosh, Vitex (also called Chasteberry), Wild Yam, Damiana Leaf, Motherwort, and/or GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid, an Omega-6 fatty acid commonly in Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil)..
However, if it's based on stress, the 5-HTP, Kava Kava, or Lithium may help more (of the options you mentioned).. You could also try SAMe or St.. John's Wort instead, but you probably won't want to take either of those with other anti-depressants..
Good luck!
