Alternative Treatments for Depression If you prefer natural therapies, then you might be searching for home remedies for depression. There is no conclusive evidence that any complementary and alternative treatment or home remedy is effective for moderate to severe depression, although these approaches may help milder forms of depression. However, some people with depression may feel that home remedies help cope with the condition.

If you have depression and are considering using a complementary/alternative form of therapy, it is important to seek the advice of your health care provider.
