This story is about my transition from conventional treatment for severe depression after my divorce. I was prescribed various antidepressants, Benzodiazepams and SSRI's to provide me with relief, but the side effects after long term use were serious enough for me to explore an alternative approach. This undertaking was a long and rigorous journey that involved taking a variety of vitamins to treat and prevent my depression. I also changed my diet, and exercised daily as a tool to improve my mental health. I practiced yoga and used acupuncture to reduce my stress and ease my anxiety.
