Women in child bearing years are supposed to take folate (in pill form- food with folate is not adequate)in order to minimize the risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect such as spina bifida. The dose is either 400 or 800 per day- I forgot which.

For anxiety and depression, other good vitamin supplements are B6, B12, and magnesium. I like using a multivitamin with more than 100% of the B vitamin requirements since it gives me more energy.
