ScienceDaily (Apr. 8, 2010) — In a broad-based review of studies focused on drugs that treat anxiety, a Saint Louis University doctor found no evidence supporting the use of so-called "natural" treatments in combating the effects of anxiety.

Of course synthetic drugs are the best choice.

It's been my experience Rhodiola Rosea is even more effective than St.John's.
I started using it to give my marathon training a boost.amazing stuff,great for many things.At the time of using it i did'nt know it was a known anti-depressant but in a short period of time(2 weeks) after using it i found found that out myself.It's probably the first natural substance i tried that made me re-evaluate my thinking toward 'alternative' health,never looked back since then to be honest.
Rhodiola definetely 100% works for me and is something i'm a big fan of.

Pills are very bad,this is just a simple FACT.

Google-Deaths from pharmacuedicals
Google-Deaths from vitamins and minerals,deaths from st john's wort etc etc

Enough said.

to be honest ,it hurts me to dwell on it,recently a friends 16 year old daughter was put on prozac cos she told the nurse at school she felt bit sad that day,took my mate a year to get her off them,and he said she was like a zombie,made me so angry a doctor could do this,anyhow,its a touchy subject for me,ive known others too,

Hmm, perhaps I'm missing something, but anxiety is not synonymous with depression. So showing studies that reveal it helps with depression does not discount the potential fact that it has no/little effect on anxiety.
