Depression affects nearly 16 million Americans annually, and a large portion of those people take antidepressant drugs.

While antidepressants have been shown to help those with moderate to severe depression, they are usually less effective for those with mild depression.

If you don't respond to antidepressants (or even if you do), you may want to explore nondrug remedies to lift your depression.

Have you tried any of these? If so, did you find them useful or not?

I've tried exercise, journaling and St Johns Wort. The St Johns Wort worked the best, but not for long.

I would be interested in acupuncture or light therapy though for sure!
