Opinions of Three Different Doctors:
Psychiatrist's Opinion:
According to Dr. Petros Skapinakis, a lecturer in Psychiatry at the University of Ioannina, hypericin has proven effective in treating mild to moderate depression based on credible international scientific research. St. John's Wort presents particular scientific interest as it may be the only herbal substance with antidepressant properties, unlike others that are purely chemical.
