Brief Answer:
You can use 5 HTPn

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Persistent sadness lasting for a period of one year not responding to St XXXXXXX wort and omega 3 fatty acids indicative of clinical minor depression. If there are more symptoms it can be major depressive disorder.

Having said this the following are options.

In case it is just minor depression you can use % HTPn which is again an herbal supplement useful in depression.

In case it is major depressive disorder the available options are medicines as well as psychotherapy.

In my view you can start using % HTP n on time being. In case it does not help over two weeks or more than you can consult a psychiatrist for proper prescription of medication.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
