Nutritional Support for Low Mood
Depression is a medical condition that needs professional support. Talking therapy, medicine, exercise and connection help most people recover. Some people add nutrients while they get that care. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, B vitamins contribute to normal psychological function, and DHA and EPA contribute to the normal function of the heart. Supplements are not a treatment for depression.

What Is Depression?
Depression means persistent low mood or loss of interest lasting two weeks or more, often with changes in sleep, appetite, energy and concentration, feelings of worthlessness, and sometimes thoughts of death. It is common, affects all ages, and is treatable. Causes include life stress, grief, illness, hormones, family history and some medicines.
When to See a Doctor
See a doctor if low mood lasts more than two weeks or affects work, relationships or daily life. If you have thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life, or feel you cannot keep yourself safe, contact your local emergency number now or go to the nearest hospital. Tell a trusted person and stay with someone. Do not wait.
What Supplements Can and Cannot Do
Some nutrients support normal psychological function as part of a balanced diet. Supplements do not treat depression and should not replace therapy, antidepressants or medical care. Never stop prescribed medicine without your doctor.
