  1. Carbohydrates, Studies have shown low blood sugar to be very common in people with depression.
  2. Omega 3 fatty acids. The human brain is 60 percent of fat.

Fish may also increase serotonin levels, to help you feel more relaxed.

Depression may also be linked to a deficiency in thiamin (B1); an untreated thiamin deficiency can lead to irreversible nerve damage, as can a B12 deficiency.
