Because of these doubts, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has funded large clinical trials of St. John s wort efficacy in both moderate and severe depression. Although there have been numerous trials (mostly European) that have proved St. John s wort is an effective cure for anxiety or depression, the studies were often small and biased. NIMH s study used a large test group with careful controls and also was run by health professionals—unbiased physicians at reputable institutions (such as Duke and Stanford University).
