Herbs for post-partum depression

When our son was born in 2004, I had a hard time dealing with the emotional and hormonal rollercoaster that ensued. I loathe the idea of taking conventional drugs, and didn't take any at that time. It was a struggle, but I managed.

But with another on the way, and an active toddler to deal with, I'm scared of not being able to manage this time. I refuse to go on drugs. Too many scary unknowns.

I took Blessed Thistle, which helped a little. But is there something better that can be taken for post-partum issues? Something that is safe for breastfeeding. That is an absolute must.

I know about diet and exercise. But I feel that I needed something more, and could very well again.
