Was thinking about trying vitamin b-6

[Audio the obscure]

I heard (and even my aunt told me this years ago) that pyridoxine or vitamin b-6 helps depression. I'm not sure if it helps with severe depression, but I am at my wit's end. I suppose I could try some supplements and start small and build up. I have some extra money now with living in this place. I'm apprehensive to try because if it doesn't work, I won't know what else to try.

I have almost all the listed symptoms of it:

The only symptom listed that I don't have is problems with concentration. I can concentrate for hours, as long as it's a subject that I'm interested in.

I think any little bit helps. Be it vitamins, or reading a self help book. It's good to know that you're still trying to fight this depression. I believe you will be able to conquer it as long as you don't give up and keep on trying. As the saying goes, when there is a will there is a way.

Do you exercise much?

I've tried b-vitamins - it probably helps to a degree.

However, I'd highly recommend getting into exercise if you don't already. Running was the greatest mood-booster I've ever had. It probably varies from person to person, but I found that either high-intensity exercise or a long period of regular exercise beneficial...for me, I wouldn't necessarily feel a mood boost from regular exercise until about 45 minutes in. Running could get me there more quickly. However, I always seemed to have to push myself more to get the same mental benefit once my body got used to it. If that makes sense.

But I'd highly, HIGHLY recommend incorporating exercise into most of your days if you don't already. This can greatly reduce depressive feelings.

I would back up people saying intense exercise, for me running can do it but I have to run for at least an hour for it feel intense enough for any great runner's high to kick in, but generally intense exercise makes you feel great.
