There are several herbs and vitamins that can aid the depression and you don't have to worry about actual dependence.
5-htp is a serotonin precursor, St John's Wort is also one of the steps in neurotransmitter synthesis pathway. Kava kava is supposed to help mellow folks out-did nothing for me. Vitamin D3, a good B complex with inositol (a b vitamin) with a slow release bit C. A mineral supplement, omega 3's, make sure the mineral provides calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc. Some have recommended magnesium citrate. It does help relax and ease muscle spasms but can cause diarrhea if you take too much.
Chamomile, hops, and so much more.
Try to get busy. That helps.
