Hello and welcome to eHealth Forum!
It is good that you are trying to overcome depression by natural remedies. If you need to take a Vitamin B complex and omega 3 fatty acids, you should ideally take them on doctor’s prescription. Natural products such as marine phytoplankton do not go through extensive research for safety for human use. Hence how safe they are cannot be predicted.
If you do not want to take medication, which is a good thing, then you can talk to your psychiatrist about alternate therapies. You can try yoga and meditation at home, along with deep breathing exercises. Music and aerobics are also good stress busters. Drink plenty of fluids and water (not caffeine), eat fresh fruits and vegetables and keep yourself busy throughout the day.
Please discuss this with your psychiatrist and follow the relaxation techniques and you should do well. Hope this helps. Take care!
