I second this approach.

I used to be extremely depressed. If you are low on a single vitamin or mineral it can mess you up.

Most of the food we eat now tends to be lower in key micronutrients. Add stress, caffeine, lack of sun, alcohol, lack of sleep and those micronutrients can get consumed or flushed out of your body fast.

Exercise can also deplete those key nutrients due to sweat.

Now I take a shotgun approach, supplement all vitamins and minerals and then begin trying to add more structure and discipline to my life to control the feeling of helplessness and chaos.

Depression is complicated.
