My acupuncturist suggested that I try SAM-E in addition to acupuncture for depression. I agreed because I did some research and found that it has many other benefits as well. After a few weeks I felt good enough to exercise, which seemed nearly impossible before. I also had an easier time getting out of bed in the morning which had been a daily struggle.

I love yoga. I've practiced on and off for almost 15 years, and whenever I'm consistent about it I see improvements in my mood, energy and stress level. Just taking the time to focus on breathing deep, clearing your mind and stretching out the day's stress goes a long way.

I've tried acupuncture for many issues over the years, and depression is one of them. While the treatment didn't have immediate results, I definitely felt better over time (within a few weeks). The best part about this kind of treatment is that there were no negative side effects. I've noticed that a lot of people are hesitant to try acupuncture because of the needles; while it does take some getting used to, it's not painful, and the positive effects far outweigh any discomfort you may experience.
