I don't know about herbs. I take omega 3

Check out this article!

I have some essential oils like Peppermint and Eucalyptus that I got off of the internet. I find that if I am having a depressive episode, making a cool compress and adding a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils helps. Also, make sure to excercise under doctor's supervision and get some sunlight. That always helps.

In Chinese Medicine, depression is linked to Liver Qi stagnation most of the time.
To a modern Westerner, the Chinese concept of Organs might seem unusual as the Chinese Medical concept of Organs lack emphasis on a physical structure. Although many terms used when speaking of Organs are similar to Western concepts, they do not refer to the specific tissue, but rather to semi-abstract concepts of interrelated functions.
Each Organ system has an affect on the other Organ systems when it becomes imbalanced. These functions are not based on surgical discoveries, but on clinical observation of patients over many thousands of years.
~Liver
Affects joints and eyes
Spread Qi of all organs in all directions
Stores blood
Controls tendons
~Common Symptoms of Liver Imbalances
•Headaches, PMS, anger, depression and frustration
•Acid reflux
•Irritable Bowel Syndrome
•Osteo-arthritis and stiff joints
•Brittle nails
•Lack of vision and direction in planning one’s life
