That wasn't a very nice thing to say to someone who is trying to find an herbal solution to their winter depression. Just because they have chosen not to take meds, doesn't mean the herbs are placebos. In fact, St John's Wort has been known to work for mild depressions!

Hang in there Learning to accept. You will find the right combo eventually. Even with meds it takes time to find the right drug. Have you considered a depression lamp? I always found mine to help in the winter.
