I have had a lot of depression lately for how my life is going, and I need to do something without prescription drugs for help. Thank you for all answers.
True depression is caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals as well as other factors. There are many ways to treat depression but most focus on drugs to treat the chemical imbalances.
The problem with drugs is that they can and usually have undesirable side-effects such as weight gain, constipation, headache, nausea, and anxiety. These side-effects caused by unnatural drugs, can contribute to feelings of depression rather than relieving the depression.

They say St. John’s Wort (you can get it at local drug or grocery store) works similar to prescription antidepressants. I use it myself, and I think it’s helping somewhat. But nothing will work as good as prescription drugs and positive thinking.

Take a deep breath and smile. It releases chemicals in the brain that make you feel better. Do this often.

So i looked online for a scientific answer
here it is :
1. Savor Everyday Moments
Pause now and then to smell a rose or watch children at play. Study participants who took time to “savor” ordinary events that they normally hurried through, or to think back on pleasant moments from their day, “showed significant increases in happiness and reductions in depression,” says psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky.
2. Avoid Comparisons
While keeping up with the Joneses is part of American culture, comparing ourselves with others can be damaging to happiness and self-esteem. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, focusing on our own personal achievement leads to greater satisfaction, according to Lyubomirsky.
3. Put Money Low on the List
People who put money high on their priority list are more at risk for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, according to researchers Tim Kasser and Richard Ryan. Their findings hold true across nations and cultures. “The more we seek satisfactions in material goods, the less we find them there,” Ryan says. “The satisfaction has a short half-life — it’s very fleeting.” Money-seekers also score lower on tests of vitality and self-actualization.
4. Have Meaningful Goals
“People who strive for something significant, whether it’s learning a new craft or raising moral children, are far happier than those who don’t have strong dreams or aspirations,” say Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener. “As humans, we actually require a sense of meaning to thrive.” Harvard’s resident happiness professor, Tal Ben-Shahar, agrees, “Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning. Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable.”
5. Take Initiative at Work
How happy you are at work depends in part on how much initiative you take. Researcher Amy Wrzesniewski says that when we express creativity, help others, suggest improvements, or do additional tasks on the job, we make our work more rewarding and feel more in control.
6. Make Friends, Treasure Family
Happier people tend to have good families, friends, and supportive relationships, say Diener and Biswas-Diener. But it’s not enough to be the life of the party if you’re surrounded by shallow acquaintances. “We don’t just need relationships, we need close ones” that involve understanding and caring.
7. Smile Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
It sounds simple, but it works. “Happy people…see possibilities, opportunities, and success. When they think of the future, they are optimistic, and when they review the past, they tend to savor the high points,” say Diener and Biswas-Diener. Even if you weren’t born looking at the glass as half-full, with practice, a positive outlook can become a habit.
8. Say Thank You Like You Mean It
People who keep gratitude journals on a weekly basis are healthier, more optimistic, and more likely to make progress toward achieving personal goals, according to author Robert Emmons. Research by Martin Seligman, founder of positive psychology, revealed that people who write “gratitude letters” to someone who made a difference in their lives score higher on happiness, and lower on depression — and the effect lasts for weeks.
9. Get Out and Exercise
A Duke University study shows that exercise may be just as effective as drugs in treating depression, without all the side effects and expense. Other research shows that in addition to health benefits, regular exercise offers a sense of accomplishment and opportunity for social interaction, releases feel-good endorphins, and boosts self-esteem.
10. Give It Away, Give It Away Now!
Make altruism and giving part of your life, and be purposeful about it. Researcher Stephen Post says helping a neighbor, volunteering, or donating goods and services results in a “helper’s high,” and you get more health benefits than you would from exercise or quitting smoking. Listening to a friend, passing on your skills, celebrating others’ successes, and forgiveness also contribute to happiness, he says. Researcher Elizabeth Dunn found that those who spend money on others reported much greater happiness than those who spend it on themselves.

I use 5-HTP. I got a prescription from my doctor for depression, but I found the 5-HTP works better for me. When I told the doctor how I felt, she’d never heard of it, but I know how I feel so I continue to take it. You can but it at a drugstore or online.

We all would like to "cure" our depression without medication but meds are the only thing that works. St. Johns Wort is only for mild depression. Exercise helps some but when you have a lot of depression its hard to get motivated to do anything. You don’t have much energy. Praying is not going to cure depression.

I give you my sympathy I know what Depression is. I am sure you know that at some time it will remit I think if you have depression and prescription drugs work for you, and you know the pills that help I would get them on prescription. This happened to me and tried very hard to do without prescription drugs, but I did not succeed and life became a hell on earth. When I got the drugs Mao’s in my case it was like a miracle, I felt better almost immediately. However if you can manage without drugs I suggest you live as interesting and stimulating life as possible. You will find all the advice you need on the net

I tried for around 3 years to manage taking herbal tablets and liquids.
It did not help me.
I suppose it has to do with your anxiety/ depression and how deep that is.
How long you have suffered, the depth of that suffering…
I wish you luck if you decide to try with alternatives.
Those were my thoughts completely.
As I has said, I tried to do that.
I hope you the alternatives are helpful for you..
Remember though.
Don’t feel you have failed if they don’t help..
People differ, anxiety and depression is not the same for all.
Don’t consider yourself a failure if you need more conventional help…

The best thing is to have a vacation or break from your work or whatever you are doing. Find someone that you really trust and talk to him/her about what is depressing you. Sometimes depression occurs when you have no one to talk to or even confide with your problems.
