Depression is a state of the human mind where the person starts thinking himself the worst person in the World. The person loses the ability to think correctly. The person went into a state of mind where he believes himself the exploited and the helpless person in the World. He started thinking that the whole World hates him and whatever he has done is the worst thing in life, which may be true or maybe not in some cases. But that state of mind leaves a huge impact on the life of a person in his life throughout, not only in the present but also in the future. Depression makes the person unable to make the right decision, and the mind becomes like a maze where he could not see the bright or terminal side. The sleep-wake cycle is disturbed. Frustration, hopelessness, sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, characterizes depression.

How the person gets into it:

Depression and anxiety both are states of mind, and it's a psychological thing, but the question is how a person gets into it. Depression and anxiety are two different conditions, but the symptoms are similar to some extent. Anxiety is a condition of nervousness before doing some work or after the work is done. This is due to a lack of confidence. But depression is totally different. Depression totally oppresses the mind and makes it unable to function properly. The person who keeps failing and failing in every situation of life or is getting abused emotionally or sexually and is not receiving any appreciation in anything slowly gets into depression. Even the person itself doesn't know that through what condition is he going through. Depression can also be imparted through medications. A serious accident or news can also make a person temporarily depressed.

How World participate in it:

The people around you, especially your family, have the biggest impact on one's life. The behavior of the family, their interest in your life is an important factor to notice in this condition. The family can make you depress even, and the family can help you get out of this condition of depression. Not only the family but also the persons whom you are concerned with.

Depression is a serious state of mental disorder with symptoms that range from modest to even life threatening. Even though it can be treated very well by therapies or counseling or medicines, but in some situations, it becomes a disease, and a person needs to take herbs to cope up with it.

So further in this article, we are going to take an overview of some herbs which are use full in these kinds of situations, Also on my page I have an post about Natural Relief that you should check out.

Herbs for depression:

Saffron: Back in the days, herbal treatment was not considered a safe way to treat depression. Saffron was considered one of the safest herbs in this treatment, but scientists were not completely aware of its side effects too. But nowadays, after a lot of research, there are a lot of herbs found safe and efficient for the treatment of depression.

Lavender oil: in old times, lavender oil was used for relaxing purposes and to make the mood better. In 2013 it came with this thing to use as a treatment for depression. It has significant power in reducing anxiety and also helps to improve the sleep-wake cycle.

Placebo and Chamomile: Placebo was in use before Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) was introduced. Both of these are herbs. Placebo didn't make its place to be used as an herb for treating depression. But Chamomile showed a good response in this disguise. Chamomile herb came up with fewer side effects, and that's why it is considered better than placebo herb. Because at this moment, you cannot put the life of the person into danger anymore. So, you need to choose such a medication which can reduce problems, not increase them.

Ginseng: Ginseng is a plant commonly found in Asia, America. This herb is extracted from the roots of these plants. But the API (active pharmaceutical ingredients) or the crude drug varies from place to place.

Ginseng was in use for thousands of years in the Chinese race to enhance mental clarity and energize their minds to work more efficiently. Most importantly, reduce stress. So, people started using it in their daily life as a potential solution to their low energy without knowing its adverse effects, so it was banned by the government and is given only on pharmacists' recommendations.

Hypericum perforatum: This is the most trusted herb used for hundreds of years and still in use after placebo. It is also known as St. Johns Wort. It is applicable as an antidepressant. But one should always use such herbs by proper prescription. Otherwise, it may cause serious effects. Every herb and drug impart different effects and outcomes in different persons. That is why only the people who are concerned with its knowledge about what a person needs which type of medication. So expert advice is a must.

Dos and Don'ts:

Now the question arises that whether it is good to rely on these herbs for patients suffering from depression. Honestly, relying on certain medicines or herb permanently is inefficient; instead, one should find other natural solutions to live a good life. People are advised not to cure their depression using herbs. But one should seek medical assistance if one observes symptoms of it in daily life. The second big problem is that if someone recognizes this situation, they keep it to their selves. And depression is a state of mind that become worse with the passage of time if not treated. The people who are concerned with you are the best counselors for this. So do not keep this in your pants if you know about it. Tell your family and friends, and it will greatly reduce your stress. I can explain this by an example that if one person does some work, it is more stressful full instead of three or four people do the same work, the stress will greatly be revealed.
