One thing to look at fats. The answer is not what popular opinion will tell

you.

Here is an article describing the problem with a low fat, low cholesterol, high

carbohydrate diet. You brain needs cholesterol and plenty of it. Since

depression comes from the brain, it makes sense to look at his diet and make

sure his brain is being fed properly. Sugar, white flour, white rice, vegetable

oils (from grains), and even the " health food " versions of these are suspect.

The average US diet is very bad, but a low fat diet is also a mistake. We

should be eating diets high in animal fat supplemented with some fruits, nuts,

and vegetables but very low in carbohydrates.

Vitamin D3......I should have added, I know someone one that was on anti-depressants, and she started the D3, she's now off of the anti-dep... She had to wean herself slowly off the anti-dep.though
