As a physician I routinely check the zinc level of my patients who have psychiatric problems. Overall about 80% are low in zinc. Many of them are high in copper which in turn causes depression.Taking zinc at a dose of 25 or 50mg of elemental zinc daily will bring down the copper and improve the mood quite often. In pregnancy a woman`s copper level doubles and if it does not go down after delivery post-natal depression can be quite a problem.
