Eu também tenho um problema familiar que de vez em quando me deita abaixo. Nunca tomei quimícos, mas penso que não se compara ao que aqui já foi descrito.
Tomo apenas suplementos naturais: 5-HTP (a resposta da natureza para as depressões):
"The neurotransmitter, 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP)is a compound created in the body which is used to regulate serotonin levels in brain and central nervous system. . A supplement of 5-HTP regulate moods, help treat anxiety and aid in weight loss.
According to medical journals and reviews it is proven that 5- HTP helps improve moods of depressed patients and may aid in weight loss, improve sleep patterns and help panic attacks.
Serotonin is a "neurotransmitter which is responsible for mood, hunger sleep". The website, medquest pharmacy claims that 5-HTP works by increasing the amount of serotonin produced in the brain. And in fact, according to Gastpar and Wakelin (1998), 5-HTP is a known precursor to serotonin which has been proven in many studies. Serotonin levels are supposed to have a direct effect on a persons mood (
www.medquwestpharmacy.com/5-htp.htm). In fact antidepressant drugs approved by the FDA, such as Prozac, are said to work by increasing the amount of serotonin available to the brain.
100mg of 5-HTP taken three times a day for an extended period of time showed a 50 % improvement in depressed patients."
Adicionalmente tomo também um complexo de vitaminas B.
Tenho-me dado bem, e por isso vou continuar.
As melhoras para todos.
