I've noticed that in my case, at least, no one supplement solved all of my problems. I almost always had to take a cocktail of supplements. And the difficult part is finding the correct combination and dosages of supplements to help you with your symptoms. If your depression is accompanied by a lot of anxiety, then certainly there are some key supplements that will help, including vitamins B6, B12, B3 (Niacinamide form is the best!), folic acid, magnesium, calcium, zinc, L-Taurine, Glycine, magnesium glycinate, kava kava, herbal blends with passionflower, L-Theanine, 5-HTP, omega-3 fish oils, inositol, and probably some others. The key is to find the right combination of supplements. You may find that you only need a couple of these supplements or maybe more to help you with your anxiety. There is no well-defined formula for this, and you either have to experiment on your own, or find a doctor that specializes in naturopathic medicine.
