Depression among children and adolescents is relatively common but frequently undiagnosed. Early detection of depression in young patients contributes to the efficiency of therapy and to a substantial improvement in quality of life. Combination treatment with psychotherapy and the herbal remedy Hypericum P (Hypericum perforatum) is the safest method for treating children. Hypericum P is designed using Russia’s unique cryopreservation technology. The paper considers the pharmacotherapeutic mechanisms of human exposure to the medicinal plant Hypericum P that is a natural antidepressant and has great potential to treat adolescent mental illness. In addition, the administration of the drug does not cause unwanted reactions.
