I tried St John's Wort, I didn't notice any difference.
I went to my GP and was prescribed anti-depressants. They worked. The first two had less of an effect over time, before I built up too much of a tolerance to the third I had talking therapy (Cognitive Analytic Therapy in my case) which ultimately got me out of depression.
Different people respond differently to different drugs/therapies.
I'm skeptic when it comes to anti-depressants because of their Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction effects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-SSRI_sexual_dysfunction
The only drug I know that has no dangerous post conditions is St john's wort
