The amino acid supplements you were using are not adequate treatment for depression. You should see a physician as effective treatments to deal with depression are available.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
