My wife has found that supplementing with Vitamin D3 (about 3000 IU, for her) makes a huge difference in her tendency for depression. It is a cheap thing to try. And you probably need to supplement anyway, at least part of the year. Dan On Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 9:04 AM, Annie B Smythe

Hi, I'm betting you get tons of advice. One of the most holistic things you can do to alleviate depression is regular low-level aerobic exercise.  Actually, the more intense workouts help too, but simply walking a half hour a day is good enough to have a real effect.   Of course, when you're
