AMORYN works by increasing the levels of all four of the brain's natural chemical messengers -neurotransmitters - By providing an all-natural boost to serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA, the ingredients in AMORYN can help you feel happy, calm, and confident--see testimonials.

Although AMORYN works well for anxiety or panic when taken alone, it may be most effective when combined with SEREDYN.
SEREDYN contains natural ingredients that produce a sense of calm and tranquility after a single dose. Unlike AMORYN - which must be taken every day for many weeks to produce improvement - SEREDYN works immediately and can be taken "as needed".

When taken together, SEREDYN and AMORYN are particularly effective at promoting a positive outlook and supporting emotional well-being. Take AMORYN every day to provide constant, sustained emotional support and SEREDYN whenever needed for immediate relief of anxiety, panic and severe stress. No other formula or combination of formulas provide the same degree of relief from worry and stress.

The symptoms are, crying over minor issues, sleeping long hours, not socializing with others and a feeling of hopelessness. I wouldn't try self medication for depression as suggested in the above commercial.

See a qualified health care provider.

GO TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!!! Depression is a serious health issue... Lot's of symptoms, and, it could be something else with similar symptoms.

Don't mess around if you're concerned at all about your own health, or someone else's.

If you're writing a report, then look it up on Wikipedia... it's probably close enough. :)
