How many people here are trying to self medicate for some form of depression/Apathy?

Original post in this thread

I'm just curious how many people here are trying to use nootropics to solve some problem?

Similarly shout if you consider yourself to be mentally healthy/balanced and are trying to improve cognition in some way.

I have tried a good few noots at this stage but in reality the thing I am always chasing is an improvement in mood and motivation. Sure improvements in memory etc would be nice but mainly I just want to feel good and be motivated to get things done. I have been quite prone to bouts of apathy and depression at times. Certainly some of the ones I have tried have been helpful here.

I'm not really taking much at the moment since college finished. Mainly I am trying out ashwagandha which does help my mood but I started to feel strange after using it constantly for over week so I gave it a break.

I also made a Yes/No poll.
