If you're thinking about having St John's Wort, and are currently taking any head-medications such as antidepressants or benzos, make sure you speak to your doctor/GP first.

Even though it's a plant and is natural, it can either reduce the effect of some medications or increase the strength. So wouldn't take it without medical advice.

Anyone who suffers from what? Why is St John’s Wort good for it?

I will never watch this type of video, but it sure does sounds like whatever affected @physicsgirl was awfully serious if it left her non-ambulatory for multiple years.

It sounds like maybe you’ve had a positive experience that you might be willing to elaborate on?

I didn't word it right. It should have been something like: "Add it to your list and research it if you're out of options". It helped me with some weird condition years ago which could have been depression but it had zero symptoms other than severe chronic fatigue, so maybe it wasn't.

I have to thank you. I did as you suggested, for concerns similar to those you described, and the difference has been night and day.

I went into it skeptical, and your recommendation has been super helpful already. I’m very grateful.
