According to Australian researchers (Nutrition and Dietetics, November 2006), there is a potential therapeutic benefit in treating depression with the following supplements: omega-3 fatty acids, folate, tryptophan, Vitamin B6, B12, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM-e), and St. John's wort.
In my experience, these supplements must be monitored as carefully as prescription medications, and should be used in conjunction with a multi-faceted program that includes physical exercise, cognitive-behavior therapy, relaxation techniques, and dietary modifications, including elimination of sugar.
