What the research says
A low mood often lifts after a few days or weeks. Talk to someone you trust, keep active and set small goals. Talking therapies have the best evidence. In England, you can refer yourself to NHS talking therapies. NHS, 2026 · WHO, 2026
- Counselling and psychotherapy: talking therapies are a first treatment for depression. Good evidence it helps · WHO, 2026 · NICE, 2022
- Mindfulness courses: group courses are recommended in the UK for milder depression. Mindfulness does not suit everyone. Good evidence it helps · NHS, 2026 · NICE, 2022
- Yoga and movement: exercise may lift mood about as much as talking therapy, a review of 73 studies found. Some evidence it may help · Cochrane, 2026
- Massage and relaxation: small studies, mostly in people with other health conditions. Limited evidence · NCCIH, 2019 · NCCIH, 2021
- Herbal remedies: St John’s wort may help mild low mood, but its strength varies and it interacts with many medicines, including the pill and antidepressants. Limited evidence · NCCIH, 2025
- Reiki and sound sessions: no reliable studies show they help low mood. No good evidence yet · NCCIH, 2018
- Life coaching: not studied for low mood. It is not a substitute for help from a doctor or talking therapist. No good evidence yet

When to talk to a doctor
If low mood lasts more than 2 weeks, you are struggling to cope, or self-help is not working, talk to your doctor. If you think about ending your life, call your local emergency number now. Don’t stop or change any treatment without talking to your doctor.
