ABSTRACT

Depression is a complex but treatable disorder if diagnosed appropriately. However; despite the advances in the understanding of the molecular basis of this disorder and the vast range of medication; psychotherapy and electroconvulsive therapy; very safe and effective drug to treat this disease is still being sought. Several studies suggest that St.John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) has phloroglucinol derivative; hyperforin; exhibiting antidepressant activity. This bioactive component can be exploited to create a major shift in the safer treatment of depression
