Yeah, it would be pretty obvious that opium would help feelings of sadness, it is the "hul gil" after all.
There is just one..or actually two big problems with opium. The first one is, it sedates you... so if you are trying to find a way to lead a normal life again away from depression, you may be too sedated to do it! Secondly, opiates.... they can kind of make depression worse. I know it sounds strange to hear that but, opiates depress the CNS I believe, and after using opiates for a while many people tend to get this feeling of sadness when the opiation wears off, maybe because they come to realize that opium is creating an illusion and now they have to come back into reality.
Oh, and another problem is that it is illegal... I am not sure if a doctor can prescribe you opium but it may be possible.
Kratom is useful. I have tried it before and it is still legal here in the USA. The only problem I had with that is that the Kratoms's effects don't last long enough for my problems. I need benzodiazepines instead for my issues...
