Many people find releif with SJW alone. If you buy a reputable and standardized brand, you should see effects in 2 weeks.
Fish oil is a good/ all around brain supplement and antidepressant. It has effects on mood and attention (ie may augment your add med) Some report good benefits with flax, but fish oil is more time tested. Plus these fats pass readily through the blood/brain barrier.
Other suplements that are handy for depression
are magneesium, vitamin c (very good for stress induced depression).Perhaps the best suplement you can take for stress and mood is FOLIC ACID. Please whatever you do, start you regiment with this (400-1000 mcg) and you will notice benefits. Good luck
