Author: Depression runs in my family. I can not afford to go to the doctor, but I need help. What are natural remedies that have worked for others?
see if your area has what is known as "community mental health" run by the county or the state. There might be help there maybe.

St Johns Wort has helped my brother and visiting someone who loves you will lift you up and Pray for help too. Good luck.

First, it would help if we knew where you are located. Look in your phone book for mental health clinics. Most places have free or low cost help for people who need help.

60% of all the people who ever get counseling of any type get it from a pastor. Most do not charge for their help. All pastors are not qualified counselors but if you check around you will find some who are.

if you have no health insurance I think you can go to your county dept of health for free. Regular Exercise reduces depression. Seratonin levels may be low. Ask pharmacist which product has that in it.

Many companies offer counseling as a free service to their employees while guaranteeing privacy. I suffered for a long time and professional help is what got me through it. Many doctors can help for free or at a reduced cost for people who don’t have insurance. Also, if you are in school, you can get assistance through there. Get help soon, you will be so glad you did and it is worth any amount.

The City that you live in should provide some sort of no cost or low cost help.

Vitamin b also is what you can take because alto of time you are missing things that you need and it causes depression that’s what i take or you can go to a free clinic called chaz and they can give you medication also

If you go to the hospital, I don’t think they can refuse you treatment because you can’t pay. there are all kinds of free clinics available. It’s great that you know to get it treated, so many people try to handle it on their own!

I don’t know about natural remedies, but there should be a clinic you could go to for treatment. Some are free and some work on a sliding scale. Best wishes to you and peace be yours!

I don’t have insurance either for two months. That is the waiting period fpr my benefits to start. Depression runs in my family too. I have tried many many different antidepressants and they actually made me worse. The sell St. Johns Wart in the health departments like Walmart. It works better than antidepressants.

Call your city, county, or state government offices. They should have a department of mental health or other office that helps people with your problems.
For natural remedies see the chapter in the excellent references below.

Contact your county’s department of social services. You can see a doctor for mental health issues without insurance. It might be free or very little cost–depending on your income and your bills. They can also give you medication samples so that you do not have to buy a prescription.

One thing that helps most people is exercise.
It kicks in the bodies natural endorphins.
But if you feel that you are suffering from depression and you have no health insurance, you can contact your county offices and see what help they can offer you.
Depression is a serious thing and should not be ignored.
You need to push to get help for yourself.
That of course is the Catch 22 of the whole thing.
If you were not feeling depressed you would not need help, if you are depressed – you are having problems helping yourself.
However – depressed people can help themselves.
I am counting on you to follow through and get the help you need.
I know it is not easy – but I also know that you are worth it!
All the best.

When I pray, any depression evaporates. I’d say find a good Christian (non Catholic) Church & meet the Pastor for guidance & prayer. It’s probably going to take more than one concerted effort on your part to find the best available Church or Community Organization to render the most satisfying results, but a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

You maybe eligible for Medicaid. Depression is not something you can fix yourself no matter how hard you try. Depression that runs in the family is from a chemical imbalance.
It’s like having cancer and putting a band-aid on it.
