Zinc is one of the first things to test for when suffering from depression. Sufficient zinc is necessary to create a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which helps alleviate depression. It just so happens that a class of pharmaceutical drugs called SSRIs do the same thing - increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It is well worth testing your zinc level before using any pharmaceutical drugs, and having to endure the awful side-effects of those drugs. See the instructions for a simple zinc taste test above. In addition, confirm that you have sufficient magnesium, iron, copper, amino acids and Omega-3 fatty acids.
