CRD SUMMARY: This review used observational studies to assess the effects of using hypericum extracts for depressive disorders. The authors concluded that hypericum appeared to be effective and well-tolerated for the routine treatment of patients with mild to moderate depression. Given the limitations of evidence from the identified non-randomised studies, the authors' cautious conclusion appears appropriate.
