Of course it's well known to boost the mood, but personally I feel it's too easy to become addicted to it, it can block the digestion process and there's healthier elements in tea.

As long as I get lots of vitamin D, Omega 3s (DHA and EPA), iron, and B12, I am much less prone to getting depressed.

I take the all the supplements this book recommends, and it's helped me a lot. Nutrition is a big deal.
