There are many types of depression & so many routes to curing it.
If you're serious, you need to read a book on the subject such as Julia Ross's "The Mood Cure". She lists lots of supps - chiefly amino acids & NT precursors such as 5HTP, GABA & tyrosine.
But if your thyroid is low, or you have a Mg or Fe deficiency, you'll be depressed because of that - & will need to supplement accordingly. If you suspect these, do tests.

I related to this response as it looked at the basis and starting point of the depression. Taking all the supplements in the world will not help, if at first the basics and underlying causes have not been addressed.
To the OP, I am new 'posting' but been lurking for years. I would suggest you have Urinary Organic acids profile, that will tell you which Neurotransmitters are low and possibly need augmenting. Then as John says read Julia Ross's mood cure which gives many useful suggestions for balancing those deficiencies. However that is best done after balancing and basic deficiencies, enzymes and metabolic pathways.
