"st john&#039;s wort has literally turned my life around.  i&#039;ve had issues with depression in the past and always managed to work my way through them without help, but my last bout a few months ago got me to the point where it was starting to affect my work and people were really noticing. my personality had changed, i was temperamental, losing concentration on the job, sleeping badly, arguing with my husband, all i wanted to do was be alone... then on a doctor&#039;s recommendation i started taking sjw. i noticed the difference within days, and 5 weeks down the track i feel like i have not felt in years!! i admit i wasn&#039;t expecting it to do anything... but i could not have been more wrong."
