Vitamins for Depression?

There are vitamins for depression. Many of us who struggle with depression do so at least in part because our brains do not have the required mix of vitamins, minerals, and fats. A healthy brain is a brain nourished with beneficial fats, minerals, and vitamins — vitamins for depression.

As one example, perhaps you have heard that some depression medications are designed to maintain a high level of the feel-good hormone serotonin in our brains. This medication works in people who do not have high enough levels of brain serotonin. Foods contain the precursors to serotonin. Your body uses the protein tryptophan combined with vitamin B-6 (one of the key vitamins for depression) to make serotonin. With the right mix of proteins and vitamins, a healthy body makes plenty of serotonin all by itself. Vitamins for depression play a key role.

Vitamins for Depression Research

There is a growing field of scientific research on vitamins for depression discussed in Rebuild from Depression: A Nutrient Guide. Authors Amanda Rose, Ph.D., and Annell Adams M.D. examine the research on vitamins for depression. They identify the vitamins, minerals, and fats most commonly associated with depression. From those nutrients, they examine the massive food database maintained by the USDA and found fifty “depression buster foods” – the food for depression highest in depression-fighting nutrients. These foods, indeed, contain vitamins for depression.

This is the first sort of analysis of food and depression of its kind. There are many “lists” out there, some lists of foods that fight depression, but this is the first list based on a systematic analysis of over 5,000 foods.

As an example, here is a list of the top 10 foods commonly available at any grocery store which contain vitamins for depression (there are many others on the list, some of which are obscure):

• Clam
• Oyster
• Flax
• Herring
• Trout
• Brewer’s yeast
• Sardines
• Crab
• Walnuts
• Salmon

But a food list is not all you need.

A key question for you is this: What minerals and vitamins for depression are you deficient in?

Vitamins for Depression: What is your body telling you?

If you are to discover the best vitamins for depression for you, you need to know what vitamins for depression you are deficient in. There are body signs of nutrient deficiencies. For instance, your muscle cramps might be caused by a magnesium deficiency or your stretch marks by a zinc deficiency. There are also clinical tests your doctor can perform to check your nutrient levels.

B-Vitamin for Depression Example

We know now that your body converts tryptophan into serotonin with the help of vitamin B-6. How do you know if you are deficient in this vitamin for depression? As it turns out, people who are deficient in B-6 often are not about to recall their dreams when they wake up in the morning. They may think that they do not dream at all. Do you not dream? That is not likely. What is likely is that you are deficient in one of the B vitamins for depression — vitamin B-6.
