Hi Alchemy.

> Acetylcholine levels in the brain may affect mood disorders, and supplemental choline can increase acetylcholine levels. In a preliminary trial, six people with bipolar disorder were given 1 to 2 grams of choline twice per day (2 to 4 grams per day). Five of the six had a significant reduction in manic symptoms,

I would be interested to see how unipolar depressives react to choline. Increases in choline produced by ACh cholinesterase inhibitors (donezepil, rivastigmine, physostigmine, galantamine) can actually induce depression.
