Hi! I was using it for a while for seasonal depression, but I don't know if it helped me or not. It has sedative properties, which was probably not good for me, because my depression was of the "lethargic" type. It would probably be better for someone with an "anxiety" type depression. I took it at night and it did seem to help me sleep.

That's really neat that you're travelling - I hope you're enjoying it.
