Need antidepressant but can’t take one

[8888]

I feel like I really need an antidepressant but have been told I can’t take one for medical reasons. Therapy alone doesn’t seem like enough. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Exercise, walking, diet? What did the doctor say who said you can't take a/d?

Yeah, I need to get back into walking and yoga. Unfortunately I live in a group home for the disabled and they feed us very poorly, a lot of carbs and not enough of anything else. The doctor just said to keep going to therapy.

Talk to the administrator(s)/chef, see if you can enlist their support? What does your therapist say?

First off find out what it is in any antidepressant that you can’t take. Are you allergic to a certain chemical or ingredient? Then do some research on natural antidepressants like foods or plants or teas. Before you take anything like a natural remedy check with your dr or pharmacist to make sure you will not have a reaction to it.
