nutrients such as Omega 3s and Bs are crucial for mental health.

And when I began suffering from a bout of depression I sought out those alternative therapies for help, including St. John's Wort, acupuncture, meditation and yoga.

I stuck with that program for two years -- and stuck with it another six months even after my depression had turned into a major episode.

When I got suicidal, I decided it was finally time to bring on the big guns and went for Celexa. Within two weeks my depression had lifted significantly, and within three months it was all but gone.

My strong belief in sticking with alternative therapies almost cost me my life. Now I choose to take a completely balanced approach towards my health: holistic if at all possible, western when neccessary.
