I have depression and anxiety. I believe that even though drugs may work temporarily, they are not necessarily the answer. After injury the brain may need help, a boost, to get it operating more normally. I have found that a vitamin regimen works very well and it has lifted my depression and anxiety. B12 (methylcobalamin) seems to do the trick for me, thanks Mark.

The point is, a so called chemical imbalance may not be the cause, but other physical issues may be involved, such as Injury and nutrition. If you can determine the cause, you can determine the treatment.

I have lived with depression and anxiety for years, but that is over now. I have eliminated processed foods (mostly) from my diet and I eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, and don't forget good fats and protein. That alone was not enough for the depression, but the vitamin regimen did the trick. So, I conclude that my depression at least is caused by the TBI and is treatable WITHOUT drugs.
