Supplements

Taking supplements can be a key part of recovering from depression.  Eating 'properly' can be difficult when you are feeling well; but when you are depressed, eating healthily can be really hard.  As a result, you may have nutrition deficiencies that can make healing your depression harder.

Multivitamin

At a minimum, take a multivitamin every day.  This will give you a range of basic vitamins and minerals that you may not be getting through the food you are eating.

Vitamin B

Take a vitamin B compound supplement which contains several types of vitamin B.  

Folate (one of the B vitamins) help keeps homocysteine level healthy.  Studies have connected high homocysteine levels to a higher likelihood of depression.

Vitamin C

Taking a vitamin C supplement (with magnesium to increase absorption) could help you fight off infections and colds, which you may be more susceptible to when you are depressed.

Tip: Get a pill holder with a compartment for each day of the week.  Once per week, fill each container with your vitamins and medications.  Take them when you brush your teeth.
