* Dark Chocolate contains the mood-boosting compounds phenylethylamine, tyramine, tryptophan, and magnesium.
* [[Turmeric]] is used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression.
*[[St. John’s John's wort]]: This popular herb has been used to treat depression for centuries. One major review found that it was as effective as standard drugs in many cases, although evidence suggests it’s not as helpful for people who are severely (compared to mildly) depressed. SJW may work by helping to rebalance levels of brain chemicals linked to mood, like dopamine and serotonin. The big warning sign with SJW, though, is that it interacts with many different medications (including some antidepressants), so you should always check with your doctor before you take it.
*[[Omega-3]]: Numerous studies have found that heart-healthy fish oil may also benefit your brain and mood. A big study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that omega-3 intake significantly improved depression and certain other psychiatric conditions.
* Also omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid in [[walnut]]s are usefull. Depression usually results when there is deficiency in omega-3.
