I'm amazed when people ask this. Like, really?

there's no fucking shortcut: eat healthy. exercise. no alcohol or drugs. sleep well on a regular schedule. surround yourself with good things and people. Find something you're passionate about. Pay your bills.

Post to r/supplements for more experienced input, but I'd say melanin and valerian root (and no screen time) right before bed. A good night's sleep is better than a lot of drugs.

Depression and anxiety/dread are normally a protective response against chronic distress and a toxic lifestyle. That is, a lifestyle which is not meeting your basic psychological needs.

Warning, there are no herbs or vitamins can save you from a toxic lifestyle, or even medicines. One cannot fix a leaking oil tanker with folk remedies. Nobody takes herbs for a bullet wound.

Get your lifestyle sorted out. Ensure you are getting enough sleep and exercise. Get checked for sleep problems.

However, for some people this protective response persists even in the absence of any major life distress or unmet needs. That is known as Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Major Depression is probably the most deadly mental illness out there.

The reasons why this happens is still mysterious, but it's strongly related to generics.

For this, you need some alternative medicine, herbal extracts, and supplements that actually work.... this is otherwise known as medicine. there is a reason why you can't just pick it off a shelf, because the difference between the medicine and the poison is in the dose. This is red pill truth.

There is a reason why medicine is reasonably expensive.

Make sure you don’t have a sleep disorder, sleep apnea is highly under diagnosed. Even mild apnea can wreck your sleep and cause depression anxiety and a lot worse. Heck symptoms online.

I only mention this as it wrecked 3-4 years of my life and as soon as I got proper sleep on cpap my depression and all anxiety disappeared within a few months.

As others said above a quality sleep routine is extremely important.
