Talk about putting a cat among the pigeons. Joy-Anna Duggar and her husband, Austin Forsyth, keep provoking drama with pregnancy updates. TLC's "Counting On" fans are polarized over Joy's enormous baby bump. Some believe the Duggars of "19 Kids and Counting [VIDEO]" are having their first love child. Others fat-shamed Mrs. Forsyth for gaining weight. Now Joe Duggar's wife, Kendra Caldwell, is being accused of hiding a pregnancy. Many feel the #Reality TV #Celebrities, including Derick Dillard, are being bullied.  Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth splits 'Counting On' fans in big baby bump Instagram pic

Antidepressant alternatives: Natural drug-free first aid kit for depression and anxiety

The loss of my mother-in-law recently prompted me to relook at depression and anxiety. Certainly there is a difference between temporary grief and chronic depression but the two can feel similar. I took antidepressant Paxil for years and my husband was on Lexapro and Wellbutrin. I gained 100 pounds during the time on the drug and also lost a stillborn child. So those were both obviously depressing but it was more than just that. Paxil (paroxetene) made me disoriented and lethargic.

So I searched out natural antidepressant alternatives. Here's my supplement and herbal first aid kit for depression. Using five simple "ingredients" my husband and I have been able to wean off antidepressants and treat anxiety. It's not a perfect solution but then nothing is--and it's certainly better than where we were. We're actually happier off the happy pill! Here's what you need:

magnesium (preferably powdered effervescent magnesium--we use Mellow Mag by True Goodness)
vitamin B complex with extra B-12
vitamin D
St. John's Wort
Kava Kava (found primarily at health food stores)

We also work to eat healthier and keep refined sugar and processed foods out of the diet.
