Researchers say vitamin B supplements may help fight depres- sion. Research published this week in BMC Psychiatry suggests people suffering from depression respond better to treatment if they have high levels of vitamin B12 in their blood. The investigators from the Kuopio University Hospital in Finland monitored 115 depressed patients for six months. The patients who responded fully to treatment had higher concentrations of vitamin B12 in their blood at both the start and the end of the study than those for whom treatment was less effective. "As far as we know, there have been no previous studies that have suggested a positive relationship between vitamin B12 and the treatment outcome in patients with major depressive disorder who have normal or high vitamin B12 levels," the authors said. It also works for PMS.
