Augment & replenish: Vitamins alone won't cure severe depression -- but low vitamin d correlates with depression, and replacing it may help. L-methyl-folate (vitamin b9) can be used to augment antidepressant effect. Replenishing low vitamin B12 may help also. Research also implicates highly processed food diets in depression, so whole-foods diet as much as possible is best -- with plenty of omega 3's too.
