Depressive symptoms could range from a whole host of different underlying structural and biochemical problems.
The likelyhood of nailing the entire problem with one and only one amino acid might be rare, but it could be a start.
Sleep and anxiety are big things. When they're out of whack it can cause a lot of other bad downstream problems. So if supplements can help improve sleep and reduce daytime anxiety, you're probably going to move to a more healing state.
Of course I don't know, but I think that things like vitamins, exercise etc, could work to reduce some of the biochemical changes that happen in depression.
For instance, high doses of vitamin C, can reduce the amount of circulating cortisol during stressfull events. This might spare the hippocampus from the dammaging effects of high cortisol.
Some people's depression might respond to single amino acids. Parkinsons disease for instance, responds to single amino acids.
Just rambling here really.
