Actually Calcium and magnesium can cause depression if you take too much. I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that!
It's happened to me before so I take very little. And maybe with your family history, you may too be very sensitive to minerals and vitamins.
I hope this helps too. :)
Take care!

> Speaking of minerals, I have recently had a urine test to test for copper because my uncle has Wilson's disease (rare). And my copper was high. So I have since done a lot of research on copper & zinc (they see-saw each other). There are some studies where low zinc & high copper might contribute to depression (but because you don't hear about it in mainstream society I'm not sure what to think). But I won't take a multi because of the copper, but have been taking zinc, a B complex, and a calcium/mag pill for about 3 weeks now. Maybe they will help eventually?
