Vitamins and Herbs for Depression

Depression and chronic pain often go hand in hand. When chronic pain afflicts your life, it can be difficult warding off depression. The physical chronic pain, for many people, becomes entwined with every aspect of their life - mental aspects included.

Depression is one of the most common problems experienced by people with chronic pain. And, chronic pain is a common problems with depression. A 2003 Stanford School of Medicine study found that people who have major depression are more than twice as likely to have chronic pain when compared to people who have no symptoms of depression.

There are three major neurotransmitters in the brain (Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine) which must be in the correct balance to allow a positive, stable self-image and optimistic mood. However, when these neurotransmitters are in an unbalanced state with one another, depression mood changes are inevitable.

In general, when Serotonin levels drop, depression can quickly settle in, and when Serotonin levels can be made to rise, depression lifts and a happy contented mood generally results.

Researchers have found that hypothalamic disturbances are also found in depression. Hypothalamic disruptions can cause excessive amounts of cortisol to be released, which can cause and exacerbate depression.

Common antidepressant medication drugs work artificially to selectively enhance and mimic Serotonin activity within the brain. Unfortunately antidepressant medication can cause a number of negative and potentially harmful side effects. On the other hand, Deprex is completely safe and can naturally enhance Serotonin levels within the body and brain - all without side effects common in synthetic antidepressant medication.

Deprex provides the necessary dietary precursors which complement the body's ability to effectively moderate and balance the necessary neurotransmitters within the brain, providing an all-natural calming and soothing effect without medication side effects.

The Deprex nutritional formula naturally:

Elevates mood by raising circulating serotonin levels.
Restores the appropriate production of serotonin and norepinephrine.
Diminishes anxiety by regulating cortisol release.
Restores clear thinking and appropriate reality testing.
Calms and diminishes over sensitivity.

Deprex will not interfere with depression treatment drugs. In fact, because of its nutritive value and homeopathic medicinal counterpart, Deprex may safely be used conjointly with other depression treatment drugs and will actually enhancing the effectiveness of other depression treatment drugs.

Unlike prescription depression treatment, Deprex is a non-prescription, all natural alternative depression treatment that is free of side effects. Deprex provides the necessary precursors which help encourage the natural production of serotonin and increase serotonin activity. Secondly, Deprex increases norepinephrine activity while reducing cortisol secretion. The medicinal and nutritional support provided within Deprex naturally rebalances brain biochemistry, which in turn allows corrective perceptual processing of information and coping strategies without anxiety.

Deprex Formula Nutrition Highlights:

St. John's Wort: Has clear antidepressant effects in a number of double blind studies. The MAO inhibiting properties, as well its serotonin re-uptake inhibitors in St. John's Wort helps the body relax. St. John's Wort also inhibits interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Cortisol, which cause anxiety and depression.
DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA): Has superior antidepressant effects. When compared with a number of tricyclic antidepressants in double blind studies, DLPA raised phenylethylamine (PEA) levels in the brain which increases the manufacture of Norepinephrine. DLPA also protects the integrity and longevity of Endorphins, important neuroproteins involved with mood and pain regulation.
L-Tyrosine: The amine-neurotransmitter that is the direct precursor to Norepinephrine, working interactively with Serotonin.
L-Threonine: Low threonine levels have been noted in chronically depressed persons at Princeton's Brain-Bio Institute, and subsequent supplementation was found to lead some patients to control of their depression.
GABA: One of the major inhibitory neurotransmitters of the central nervous system, helping to relax muscle tissue and better regulate Cortisol release from the Adrenal Cortex via Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone production from the Hypothalamus, a problem which is known to affect 50% of all depressed individuals
Skullcap: Helps to calm and relieve an overly sensitized "sensorium."
Verbena Officinalis: An ancient herb used to relieve continuing sadness and unhappiness.
5-HTP: The natural immediate precursor to Serotonin and Melatonin, providing neurochemical balance during stress.
Supporting Amino Acids, Specifically Targeted Micro-Nutritionals & More: Provides electromagnetic instructions to further help the body naturally regulate Hypothalamic activity, balance the natural production of Serotonin and Norepinephrine and help restore clear sentient thinking and appropriate reality testing, as well as mood stabilization for potentially explosive and unpredictable mood swings.

The complex of 25 natural ingredients in Deprex is much more powerful than one ingredient by itself. Deprex can safely be used with other antidepressant medication if desired. Deprex can actually enhance the effectiveness of other antidepressant drug medication use as it does not interfere with or compete against normal neuro-biochemical functioning.

A therapeutic strategy involving the use of Deprex with other medication drugs, or as a replacement strategy to medication, is at the sole discretion of the individual and their health care provider.

Deprex is all natural, completely safe and highly effective.
