Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can't afford for professionals and don't want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor's prescription?

Anyway the big three are St John's Wort, Ashwaganda, and Moringa.

Do they require a doctor's prescription? Do they have addictive effects?

St John's Wort can interact with several medications.

This is anecdotal, but I got horrible nightmares while trying Ashwaganda.

None require a prescription, and as far as I know none of these are addictive.
