[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 618932, member: 13542"] For milder depression there has been much success with good quality Omega 3's along with exercise. My Dr. shared with me that the combination of Omega-3's and exercise has proven to be just as effective in many studies as medication in many instances, however, it takes about 3 months to kick in. The elimination of sugar, alcohol, the bad carbs and making one's diet about mostly veggies, fruit and protein is very helpful. Gluten intolerance can negatively impact mood as well. There are books about diet and depression you can work with. Exercise changes the brain chemistry and is extremely helpful. All if this helps if the person has a commitment to heal and is willing to make the changes necessary. You can't force your son to do any of it unless [U]he [/U]wants to. [/QUOTE]
