Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

St. John's Wort, also known as Hypericum perforatum, has not been established as a reliable intervention for depression in older adults. While psychotherapy, antidepressant medication, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) have been used and researched extensively for the treatment of depression in older adults, there is not enough evidence to support the effectiveness of St. John's Wort for this population. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before trying any new interventions for depression.
