After my step father died my mom went into a bad time with depression. She took some drugs and spent more time around people that cared for her and now she is a lot better. Spending time around “good for you” people is the best thing. Not all people are good to be around, especially relatives. Ditch the downers, regardless of their relationships and spend time with the good positive people and it will help as much as the drugs.

Non-prescription drugs, even relatively mild ones could be very hazardous right now, I would avoid them completely.
