Swear by this for lifting my moods when they start to dip. I once learned that this was the most prescribed supplement for depression in Germany.It works in a similar way to Prozac (Fluoxetine) and I was once put on that. I've never had to go back on it as 5-htp works as well and can be taken earlier whereas I'd probably wait until I was worse before going to see a doctor for a prescribed medication to help.It helps with sleep as well which also improves mood. As I am an anxious person under constant stress I also take ashwagandha for anxiety and they help enormously too as they stop those panicky feelings that hit when something happens or I am reminded of something worrying. It controls the release of cortisol which is what rises to wake us up every morning but if too high will wake us in the night at all hours. So these two supplements really help me live a fairly normal life.  Read Less
