Overcoming Depression

Dr. Mercola had an interesting article on mental illness--some possible dangers with conventional drug therapy and some positive and natural ways to combat the depressive state.

He addresses research that shows dangerous side effects and some practical tips to tackle the depression without a pill.

*Exercise
*Yoga
*Nutrition (food additives, preservations, colors, and sugar are big triggers for mental downswings)
*Omega 3 oils
*Vitamin D
*Salt
