St.John's Wort is effective for the treatment of Depression?

St. John's wort is an herb that has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes, including to treat depression.
The composition of St. John's wort and how it might work are not well understood.

There is some scientific evidence that St. John's wort is useful for treating mild to moderate depression. However, recent studies suggest that St. John's wort is of no benefit in treating major depression of moderate severity. More research is required to help us know whether St. John's wort has value in treating other forms of depression.

St. John's wort interacts with certain drugs, and these interactions can be dangerous.

It is important to inform all of your health care providers about any therapy that you are currently using or considering, including any dietary supplements. This is to help ensure a safe and coordinated course of care.
