How effective is the herb St Johns Wort, at treating the symptoms of depression and anxiety?

It is only a very mild anti depressant.
You would have to have quite a lot of it for it to be noticeable.
My ex used to used that meds for his depression... it didn't help him at all...
some people like it.

most doctors recognize that it does something for depression

but its not proven one way or another
It may help mild depression / anxiety. For severe case of depression / anxiety see a psychiatrist. You may require prescription drugs and/or therapy.
8+ years working in drug / alcohol field and 3+ years working in psych hospitals
I use the drops only...Im not sure how the pills would be...I like it alot I use it for anxiety and mild depression...it really works well...I drive 30 miles to work everyday and used to have road rage...now I just coast along and no one bothers me....I love the stuff....
This has been studied OVER AND OVER AND OVER... total snake oil. I am very open to good natural remedies, but this aint one of them.
