- Did you know that many medications are derived from plants? For example, salicin from willow bark is the basis for aspirin, and valeric acid from valerian root is chemically modified to make Valproic acid, which psychiatrists use to treat bipolar disorder. There is a lot of healing potential in nature. In this video, I discuss three herbs that have the best evidence for treating depression.

Would you consider doing a video about marijuana? (Side effects, benefits, ect.)
I had serotonin syndrome when they had me on Prozac and tramadol at the same time. I am not still on the Prozac but I am still on the do you think that the saffron and the tumeric would interact with the tramadol?
Thank you doctor from the bottom of my heart. I admire you as a Black woman in the medical field. I pray peace and love to you. You have helped my husband and I understand our mental health better and we're able to help each other grow stronger together.
Can you do a video on the effects of being SHUNNED from your family and entire social network? Parents are doing this to their children who no longer believe in their faith that they were BORN IN TO. This has caused suicides. Extreme groups are doing this. Thanks.
Love you Dr.Marks 😊 you're the best
1: St. John’s Wort
2: Turmeric
3: Saffron
Thanks for the summary! ☺️
I think she also mentioned curcumin?
Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric - she mentioned its better to take curcumin because turmeric can cause kidney stone
That's the active compound in turmeric.
Not an herb but add Magnesium to the list. 500-800mg/day of Mg Citrate works better than anything else I've ever tried for depression. Dr. Tracey already made a video on it, and that single video could have possibly saved my life.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Psychedelics saved me from vears of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
@Micheal Harris Is he on insta?
Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.
depression and anxiety is like the worst disease you can get
St John’s Wort cured my severe depression in days. The early morning waking left, psychomotor retardation resolved and my mood lifted. It was like a warm hug when I was in the pits of despair. Thankfully no more depressive episodes since 2019!
Did you stop using the herb?!
@@maxdaisy84 Yeah, haven’t used it in ages bar a few days here and there when I’m going through a tough time. But only took about 2 weeks to help with all the biological symptoms then over the following months the psychology improved too
How much do you take? Are there doseages? And in what form?? A supplement or?
@@whycantwealldream I took one called Karmamood mainly but tried others which helped too. When I was severely depressed I took 425 mg twice daily.
thanks to share that I will try it too then. I am not very depressed but I am utterly unmotivated I don't sleep well and I live on coffee. I wonder if it's ok to take that together with turmeric
As a nurse I adore that your videos are scientific, evidence based, and extensive while also being simplified, and brought to a level people without a medical or scientific background could follow. You’re patient, warming, and disarming, thank you for making all of these videos.
Also the visuals make it just
😘👌🏻
Also don't forget they are wholeistic and for-truth. Rather than "let's just repeat whatever it says on this Pharma paper here."
Wish she was my Dr.
As a rodent who identifies as a Cossack I dance while sitting down and I squeak.
❤ yes well said ❤
I ❤ Dr. Marks
AMEN! Dr. Marks tells details on the information we need without condescension! Perfect delivery! 🎤🎉
I agree‼️
She is amazing!!
We do.
Same! Her videos are very informative/Professional
I'm surprised that you didn't mention that a lot of psychiatric conditions are caused by nutritional deficiencies. This needs to be talked about more and made available.
almost all in fact. you'd be amazed at how much taking Vitamin D and Magnesium helps daily.
And the B spectrum!
You're right, Sharon! Sometimes we think we're eating healthy (or not) but have nutrient absorbtion issues. 👍🏼
Thing is, vitamins are bs. You need to get them from foods, or sunlight for the D. Getting some of these vitamins from foods is hard for me.
@@Skarry - I've been taking vitamins for over 35yrs. I'm not an eater like some so vitamins have been my best sources
I've taken St John's wort for decades now. Tried to wean off recently just to see how I would do since I haven't been depressed in some time, but after 1 week of just reducing the dosage, I woke up with major anxiety. I'd forgotten, this is how I used to feel every morning before St. John's. So I still need it to feel normal, but it works, and it works long term for me. Glad I found it as I had bad reactions to prescriptions.
Do u just buy it online?
I'm glad St. John's Wort works for you.
I have switched from escitalopram to st john's wort too! For me it works and no side effects which for me were very bad under SSRIs! For the record I'm bipolar 1 and still on lithium though I am working to reduce and eventually eliminate it under my doctor's care. Going completely on one's own is not advised here.
@@NightWitch1630 I get it from Walmart in their herbal med section, but you can buy online or at places like Rite Aid or CVS. I get the 500 mgs per capsule & take the max dose (4 per day). It can take several weeks to build up in your system. Tried reducing to 3 per day & had anxiety attack within a week, but able to build up in my sytem again within several days. Waking up normally is such a relief!
@@virginiamontaldo440 I take lithium orotate for bipolar 1. Works reasonably well I think. And I've taken St John's work but it causes mania for me sometimes, but it's not like it causes everytime I take it. So I can't really take it.
Dr Marks, you are probably saving an unknown number of lives with your videos. I wish I could just give you a big hug, but all I've got is YT comments, There aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for you and your effort to simply help people.
I'm sure I speak for many, when I say: THANK YOU and we love you
I am a mental health professional. I appreciate the exactness of your great information.
Taking Pepper with the Turmeric/Curcumin helps your body absorb it better which is something she didn't mention small tip.
@@daz5895 yeah good fats. Hemp oil coconut oil olive oil. Omega 3s good for depression anxiety mental problems. Maybe I will make a video on it Ty.
@@daz5895 so u are a doctor legit that's a lot of work. Fruits and vegetables are the real medicine. Are u male of female and are u married.
Black pepper and a little oil helps it absorb
@probiotichealing1
How do ratio that? Is it both in powder form equal quantity or something different? Thanks
I love the format of this video. You delivered a great amount of information and managed to make it so easy to digest and retain. Thank you so much.
You are the most informative person on TH-cam when it comes to mental health. Thank you.
With my diagnosed CPTSD, I used SJW for several years, until I realized it kept me in a narrow range of emotion and I 😢needed more color in my life. So I tried stopping it and cruised into a nice emotional experience of my life with a normal emotional range. 2021 was a bit tough, but my Reiki healing has cured my depression symptoms completely. Reiki is pretty amazing.
It’s been hard to find this information, thank you for making this video. Looking forward to more of this content😊
Dr. Marks, you are a positive triple threat much needed in this virtual world of information. Your demeanor, delivery and succinct and clear information flow are absolutely so needed and appreciated. I am an Art Therapist and thank you for your channel.
L-theanine is a great amino acid you can buy in tablet form. It’s gently mood lifting, can help sleep even though it doesn’t really make you drowsy, and has other benefits.
Cannabis was the first of the 3 herbs in the promo image, however it wasn't covered in your discussion. It's my favourite treatment for anxiety & depression. Thankfully both CBD & THC preparations are legal & available in my part of Australia.
It's what I do too! 💯
It's the only thing that works for me
A.C.T.?
The thumbnail was good old fashioned clickbait.
u should read cannabis induced mood disorder
great video again Dr.
thanks again for keeping the sounds and animations low and not distracting.
Thank you Dr Marks. My friend has depression and prefers to use natural remedies such as these. Your videos help me to understand her and her challenges, I appreciate them so much.
I'm developing mental health programming right now and this is a wonderful addition for me to consider. I call tending to my community garden plot, along the bay off of Lake Ontario, in this lovely underused green space no less, "going to church". I have certain calming plants like lavender and lemon balm, chamomile, the usual suspects. It's wonderful to learn more about how the plants you mention act on the body. Thank you so much for your work!
This is perfect, and very much needed. Thank You 🌸
Love this topic! I did integrate turmeric into my diet since your last video and have been loving it. I like this theme also because I don't think I ever have been severely depressed, but the blues and anxiety that come and go can be debilitating even when they're mild. So natural solutions that help to stimulate the body and don't have collateral effects (cold showers, walks, exercise, but also diet) are oh so valuable!! It also helps when trying to help someone who's low. Feeding someone rich "antidepressant" foods like those is a such loving demonstration of care!
This is incredible, albei I will adhere to all of her message and be sure to include it with the outside resources I already utilize, not in place of. "There is no quick fix" has been a consistent message from our bodies.❤
Wow! I like your style. I have multiple disabilities and you are much easier to learn from than other people:
•Plain background is visually relaxing
•No background music
•Text and visual images are used to punctuate your points, not randomly appearing and disappearing, or staying onscreen when you have moved on.
Your very clear presentation can reach more people, in a relaxing and informative way because of this. Thank you.
+++ I love hearing doctors talk about using herbs. Our medical system can manage the lot of us so much better when they are added to our care, not disrespected. Thank you very much.
You deserve your own TV show- your such a blessing
She wouldn't be able to speak TRUTH anymore if she was on broadcast TV. Glad you found her😊
Thank you so much Mrs Marks. Very informative and straight to the point.
You rock for this, Dr. Marks!
Wow!! Your awesome, I love your videos, they’re so easy to understand and wonderfully helpful. Thank you ❤
Always grateful for your awesome videos! Great appreciation from 🇪🇹
Thank you for your work on bringing mother nature back into lives and the wondrous uses of her plants
This was awesome ❤️ loved the video and cannot wait for more. You put so much care into your work and getting accurate information to us, and its very obvious in your videos. Thank you for your work. You have helped me a lot 💜
You’re so welcome April. Glad to be of help. ❤️
@@DrTraceyMarks So whys there a picture of marijuana plant when you knew marijuana plant wasn’t going to be discussed. CLICKBAIT? Strange because it’s seems to be the most common herb that people use to replace medication because it’s a safer alt. It’s used in medical practice, but there’s still a stigma that says marijuana causes mental illness/makes the illness worse. Is there another video where you discuss marijuana plant? 🤦
@@grassfedcharlie I don’t think my thumbnail design Lee was intending to deceive with the picture of the herb. I have a could of videos where I talk about cannabis. Here’s one CBD For Anxiety?
th-cam.com/video/LrPQrcRx0F4/w-d-xo.html
And this one talks about cannabinoids What Exercise Does To Your Brain - HINT: It’s Like Cannabis
th-cam.com/video/6EoK_RkRdcs/w-d-xo.html
@@DrTraceyMarks if you don't mind me saying you would look nice in a very short cropped haircut close to your scalp. It would show off your bone structure better.
Great Video: definitely would love to see more on the topic
Dr Tracey thank you for bringing all this valuable information to us. You’ve helped me to get through so many difficult moments in my life. I was going through panic attacks, depression and anxiety and your “multi level approach” to these conditions helped me to recover from them. I really appreciate that. You are Saving lifes
Great to see this information from a psychiatrist point of view. Thank you 😊
Thank you Dr. Marks for all you do!!
Great information- thank you for presenting the safety information as well
so grateful for you and your experience and wisdom ❤
Love your informative videos . Thank you 😊
Yes, more of this !!!
I love all your content !!!!
Exercise! Exercise can help with depression in many people.
Some of us need a boost to even have the energy to exercise.. but once we get going, it is very helpful..
@@KishBish Believe me, I've been there too! I just remind myself that I'll feel better when I'm done and that usually gives me the energy boost to get going.
Exercise doesn't boost my mood. It just leaves me feeling exhausted.
Sadly my regular bike rides never knocked me out my serious depression I was always scared of trying magic mushrooms I might eventually try one of the ones you just mentioned. I also didn't respond to rtms . I read fecal transplant can also cure depression
@RJones-tn5vg when I was young exercise did boost my mood biking tennis not anymore
I have used St. Johns Wort at various times and found it most effective. One thing I became aware of is that if you're in your 60s and have any sort of balance issues - you have to be careful not to take too much; as I've read that it can contribute to increased risks of falling down - this happened to me a couple of times and that's what prompted me to research this topic.
We need more of this from the WHOLE psych community!
Thank you Dr. Marks for this informative video. Love turmeric already so this should be easy to incorporate.
Wow, I am glad I found this! Thank you, Doc.
Wow this was so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼
Yes please! More plant based options. Thank you so much.
Your work is beyond amazing. Thank you
I love it!!!🙌🏽
Thanks for this video, Doc!🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Very helpful and very informative. Thank you so much Dr! I love your videos
I really appreciate your simple and very informative teaching. Thankyou for these videos.
Yes!❤ keep up on those topic!!❤ great video❤
You are so amazing. I've learned so much!
Wow! No one has ever explained to me WHY herbs are just as good as medicine. Maybe I’m ignorant but I personally have never heard it stated and that a lot medicines are basically derived from these herbs. Great information! ❤️🙏🏽❤️
I'm all about Ashwagandha cvs walmart
Just a calm that you dont feel unlike xanax but it keeps you straight
@@joaniegillis4472 Ashwagandha changed the way I relate to stress. It really lets you keep calm in the moment and sort things out better.
Such a great video. Thanks!
Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression...The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself...I used antidepressants for some years but it only made me feel like a zombie but with immediate use of mushroom 🍄 in few months I feel like I'm living a whole new Life.
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues..i would love to try magic mushrooms but they are hard to source!
I live in Michigan….suffering for awhile now but didnt realize how serious I may have it until recently - probably bc of @self medicating” with alcohol
I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety level.. I am also glad to be a part of this community.😊
I've been having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress..not until I met Myco_louiis.. he really helped me
I wish mushrooms were more available. I'd like to try them for depression.
This is so good! Thank you!❤
Well detailed shot description of the subject of herbal medicine with its pros and cons, including reasons for warnings
Really love your channel!
Thank you so very much. Your videos are so helpful and I am definitely interested in the plant videos. Thank you so much again these are so amazing and so appreciated, many bright Blessings ❤❤❤
I gain so much specific, usable knowledge from watching your videos Dr. Marks. I'm grateful.
Wonderfully informative. Thank you! 😊
Wow doc, another informative and great video
Thank you doc! I love learning about herbs for healing. 🤩🍀
More of this, PLEASE.
Thanks a lot for this information, Dr. Tracey, you are like an evangelical messenger. ❤
Thank you sooooo much Dr. Tracey!!!!
Glad I came across this. ❤ thank you
This is so interesting. Thank you ❤
This is such a lovely and informative video.
More, more, more!! Love this
Love you Doc, always learn from you always ❤️
Thanks for the great information for treating depression.
Thank you for your public service as knowledge is power.
Very Interesting nice to be able to help others with this information! THANK YOU
Thank you 🎉 an awesome video
I feel so empty 💔 my fur-baby / best friend died yesterday 💔 . My 21 -1/2 year old cat had is last sleep yesterday . I just can’t stop crying . We thought we were going ing to lose him before x- mass … but he hung on until yesterday …we had to get him euthanised . He was in too much pain 💔. I can’t believe how much it hurts .
People keep saying the typical ….oh well he’s free now ,blah blah blah … he,s free now / he’s in a better place blah blah blah …IT DOSE NOT HELP . Just be there for the person . Empathise with them .. let them cry …hug them if it feels right . THE REALITY IS 👉 there are no words 👈 Just empathise and be there … if you can . From family members and friends who have taken their own lives …. You don’t need to fill the empty space with words - but don’t stop being their for those people …..they feel empty and isolated already👉don’t stop visiting people because YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE and don’t know what to say …. 👉👉JUST BE THERE 👈 .
A word of advice to people who feel the need to say such things - please don’t do it to people who have lost someone Or a pet …
So sorry for your loss ❤
@@TwinkiesforDinner 🫂thank you
So sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry 😢 for the loss of your beloved cat 🐱. It is the hardest thing in the world to lose a pet. My heart 💜 goes out to you.
this is amazing, so perfect for those of us who can't or are not looking to start with prescription SSRIs and other medicine :")
I have tried all three! They all helped me! I took St John’s for a while and then switched to Terry Natural’s Saffron with Curcumin when I got on BC
Yes, thank you Dr. Marks♥️
Natural solutions are so, so, so important, but it's even more important to KNOW YOUR PLANTS!
My family has been successfully treating anxiety with increased Omega3 intake, and blood pressure issues with red clover, and I will have a closer look into turmeric after this video as well! 👍
Hi Nancy, I am so glad to know that your family has found great relief and effective results in treating anxiety with Omega 3 intake. To know that gives kind of hope to me, cause I’ve been dealing with severe anxiety and depression ever since this pandemic started, with its extreme lockdowns and hysteria that was spread through media, and our governments. I wonder what Omega 3 brand and form (tablets/capsules or other oral presentation) has proved to be effective to your family to treat anxiety. Thanks and have a great day ! 🙏🏼
Thank u so much for lending your knowledge. I really want to try St. John’s wort but I can’t take it due to a medication I’m on. So I’m going to try your other suggestions! I’ve heard so many ppl say to try St. John’s wort and felt sad that there wasn’t something else and got so excited when I saw your video about some other options.
I looove this! Thank you!
Thank you as always ❤
Thank you for this.
love the info
Thank you for the info. Please include details on doses in your next video and a recommendation for a cookbook with recipes.
Thanks a lot, dear Tracy 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for your lessons 🌷💕🌷💕🌷💕🌷💕🌷
You’re a Godsend. Thank you 💜
Great video, turmeric has also been found to fight cancer at all 3 stages.
Thank you Dr. Marks
More videos like this, please!
This is super helpful
You are just simply awesome ❤
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area. I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did
Magic mushrooms don't only help with mental health, they help amplify your empathy, if people were more empathetic the world would be a better place

Thank you so much Dr Tracy.
Thank you for this
I've been taking 5HTP for a few months. It makes me feel more awake, and react quicker. But still struggling with mild depression, though.
I bought your Book in my Country, it is very handy and insightful book. i thank you for that.
About 4 years ago, I told my psychiatrist that I wanted to try alternatives for treating my mental health (BPD, MDD, PMDD, PME and ADHD) She was nervous, but helped me safely wean off psychiatric medicine that I'd been taking for 15 years (tried so many different medications and I never felt improvement). My symptoms are more improved on Mediterranean diet, and my top 3 for depression are albizia julibrissin (this is the only one to help the severity of my depression), butterfly pea flower, and lavender. I would not be here without albizia julibrissin, I was getting so tired of fighting to stay alive. Thank God for my psychiatrist helping me get off those meds. Haven't attempted since 2018, haven't self harmed in a few years, and I am holding a job for the first time, got my driver's license and am going to school again. I haven't tried st John's wort, feel nervous to, but I add turmeric to my anti inflammatory drink every morning to help with neuropathy, good stuff. Great video, im so glad there are open minded professionals like you out there.
This is wonderful to hear. You are taking great care of your mental health and it sounds like your psychiatrist has your back. Have a wonderful holiday season!
Did your psychiatrist guide you on the mediterranean supplements or did you find those out yourself?
@@alexandra4real360 my dietitian guided me on the Mediterranean diet. The herbal supplements I found myself and figured out my dosage myself.
i am currently in a situation where the medicines ive been taking for 8 years didnt help because no one cared enough to go to the root of my problem. i got extremely burnt out which doesnt seem like normal burnout, quit college, basically never go outside because my anxiety has skyrocketed, i stopped my benzos and had to go through withdrawals for a while, it's eased a little bit now. but i would much rather not be on prescription medicines because it internally made me feel horrible. im on the path of finding herbs that actualy help me, i have no guidance in this aspect right now. im starting to lose hope because none of the herbs are providing me any strong sense of relief for a chronic condition like mine and im nervous to try st johns wort again because the cycle of getting disappointed over and over again is tiring me. herbs are not a quick fix, but i really want to see some relief in sight.
