It could help but you wont know until you try. And remember to give it up to 6 weeks, no overnight miracles. I'd try it and see what happens, kay?

Did you ever have therapy to figure out the origin of your depression? Maybe you could look into that.

As far as serotonin and other neurotransmitters, exercise and food can effect then as much as the body. Everyone knows exercise creates those feel good chemicals.

Serotonin is only manipulated by drugs, where eating quality protein with adequate carbs will actually create serotonin and also other vital neurotransmitters. Proteins are broken down into aminos; aminos are what is responsible for creating neurotransmitters. Carbs are protein sparing, meaning they provide energy so the body doesn't use protein for energy thus freeing it up to do it's more important jobs.

Drugs don't create neurotransmitters.

It's up to you what to do, but I have heard many people benefited from cognitive therapy and improved diet w/vigorous exercise program. Drugs seem to work for short run more than long run and have alot of adverse effects on the health of body and the brain...and of course, there are the dependancy/tolerance/withdrawal issues. Dependancy is not the same as addiction, that's why they can claim no addictiveness. Dependancy is physical. Addiction has the complusive/destructive/social/drug seeking behaviors which usually come from taking euphoria drugs.
