5-HTP has changed my life

I find it funny that people who do not suffer from depression always seem to tell people who do suffer from depression to just "change your mind set." Unfortunately it is not that simple. It is a chemical imbalance. 5-HTP has changed my life for the better. It helps to combat depression and elevate your mood. I highly recommend it.
