The questions I ask is what comes first and last. If for example a person is bullied at school for years, that person will probably react with signals from the whole body. Herbs, teas or other will probably not help. The stop in being bullied will probably give relief, but the person will still struggle with low self-esteem that has to be treated psychologically.

Totally agree. I was bullied when I was a kid. My mother was chronically depressed. There is suicide and depression in my family. I have depression and low self esteem and the trauma aspects of it are not going to miraculously disappear if I increase vit D levels or eliminate gluten.
The point to me is to look at the big picture and try to address depression on all levels. And not buy into the simplistic narrative sold by pharma and mainstream medicine, who try to reduce the complexity of depression to a simple imbalance that can be fixed with a drug, and indeed
must be fixed with a drug. It's a cartoon version of reality.
