Dr. Linda Callaghan answered

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Yes.: Drinking green tea has been associated with warding off depression . Green tea drinkers seem to suffer less depression than non-tea drinkers but there are no clinical studies to prove it yet. There has been no side effects noted with the use of antidepressant and green tea.

Dr Paudel and another doctor agreed
