If you're not interested in medicines then maybe you could utilise your body's own drug resources. Exercise, especially of the aerobic variety, releases 'feel good' chemicals known as endorphins in the brain which are known to regulate mood and allow the body to better deal with stressful situations.
These brain chemicals are responsible for the phenomenon known as 'runners high' when distance runners experience a feeling of euphoria usually after having performed continuous exercise for a prolonged period of time.
The Western medical perspective on acupuncture is that it may help conditions such as depression because it too triggers the release of endorphins. Eating chocolate, sex and meditation are also associated with endorphin release, if you're looking for alternatives.

Sometimes, religion may help... I use religion very loosely here though. A person can start looking at different philosophical perspective about one's place in life to the social fellowship with other folks with similar life views. I find that Buddhist readings are extremely helpful, regardless of one's religious orientation.

Time for another few laps then, methinks.
You're going to listen to me? To something I said? Jesus, man, haven't I made it abundantly clear during the tenure of our friendship that I don't know sh**? I mean, half the time I'm just talking out of my ass - Brodie Bruce, Mallrats

God made the parks here in Taipei?
As it is, we seem to regard it as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has taken one side or the other. We regard it (in other words) as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has contrived to reach the object of his reasoning. We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.

I thought Park was a Korean name.
