hipergirl22	B vitamins help..look for 100mg strength. Eat natural foods, nothing processed and in boxes..Depression is a chemical imbalance of the brain and may be caused by an improper diet..Be sure to take a multi as I said with 100mg of b-Complex, that helps alot, Chamomile, Valerian root, help relax as does warm milk.

TeraBytes	Well, it is true depression food wont cure it. If it lasts for over a month it may be real depression, a real medical condition. Go see your doc and talk to them about it. It will not go away on its own, I suffer with it, and have to be on medication. If its an occasional downers, dark chocolate is good. Also, taking st. johns wart will help.

Mike	The best thing is exercise. Move it or lose it. Start with walking. go at your own pace. eventually work up to running twice a week if you can. The most difficult part is getting started, but laborious as it may be, exercise is not as bad as having depression. Also someone said "nuts", but somewhere I heard specifically walnuts (omega 3's?), but I haven't noticed much difference with any food. On the other hand, exercise is a miracle cure. It has a very significant effect. Its comperable to a drug (because it is a drug; natural ones your body makes). Your body was meant to be worked. Also, don't drink too much, it's a big downer.

Sugar and caffeine give you a quick lift -- but can leave you feeling down when their effects wear off.

Complex carbs act as tranquilizers by increasing your amount of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that calms, in your brain.

Chamomile, Peppermint or goyah tea, for your morning and evening mojo has a calming effect on the brain. Chronic dehydration -- however slight -- can cause feelings of anxiety. That's why this diet includes plenty of water, often with some lemon or lime added to liven it up. Golden raisins are high in vitamin B6 and can be added to an meal or eaten as a snack. Even marginal vitamin deficiencies that don't result in clinical symptoms can negatively affect your mood. This diet, when paired with a daily Multivitamin and mineral supplement, will help ensure adequate intake of essential vitamins and minerals (especially the B vitamins and Folic Acid.
