Because sometimes depression is due to a lack of stuff in your body. (idk) Or hormonal imbalance.

But yes, talking is one to solve depression.
That is why i talk here on SHF.
AND/OR love botty and talk to her.

Offtopic.

I mean, everyone know about depressed/heartbroken people eating ice cream crying in front of tv, trope right ?
Well, in fact, there is valid scientific reason for that and why your body try to "eat".
Bc eating (especially sugar) secrete dopamine, hormone of happiness, hence counter balance the stress/sadness.
tldr: body try to solve the problem in its own way (not caring about weight)

(Googled) why take vitamins for depression

B vitamins are crucial for neurological function and mood regulation. Deficiencies in these vitamins are linked to depression. Studies on individual B vitamins show promise in improving depressive symptoms, particularly thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folate.

In particular, deficiencies in B vitamins, i.e., B1, B6, B9, and B12, have been linked to depression, as they are essential for neuronal function [78,79,80]. They also have a protective effect against hypercysteinaemia, associated with an increased risk of mood disorders [81].

Sounds like a reach to me, y'know. It's like how Bananas can cause radiation poisoning

Vitamin C helps with energy and brain function, Vitamin D helps your body absorb it, Vitamin K is good for your immune system and also helps your body absorb the other vitamins.

They do work. It's no different than if you took an immune booster for when you're sick. These just help with depression more than the immune system. You can also take fish oil as it can have a good effect on depression.

Bananas can cause radiation poisoning if consumed to a degree that would kill you from over gorging yourself first. Vitamins are necessary for bodily and mental health as they have healthy levels and unhealthy levels. Consume too much and you can become unhealthy or even die. Consume too little and your body begins to shut down.

I legit kinda dont understand why they/Luoir dont believe in vitamins and comparing it to banana poisoning.

I mean.
Its like they never drank a cup of orange juice and felt the effects of vitamins in their life. (maybe LuoirM didnt, idk, its possible)
And anyone knowing about banana/cherry poisoning joke should also know the 2nd half part of the joke that "you risk dying from your stomach exploding beforehand".

Sorry for sounding nerdy.

Was just curious scientifically of why the incredulous-ment of LuoirM about the effects of vitamins. (why they didnt seem to believe it)
Its not like certain other facts that dubious debates like moon landing but "vitamins" something proved times and times again. Heck i wouldnt flinch if someone questioned vaccines being a danger. But vitamins ? Now that is strange thing to question.

As a fellow depressed person (currently trying to fight it), i also give my support to you Luoir.

The prior analogy of Vitamin B helping with depression stems from the fact that them helps with nerve function and stems, bloodcells, henceforth, proper function aka less depression seems like a... Whattheword roller coaster to me, I trust vitamin for the former effects yes
