> Can someone please explain what is the problem with melatonin and depression? Does melatonin aggravate depressive symptoms, or are there bad interactions with ADs?


I don't know what the exact mechanism is, but I have read that increased melatonin levels are thought to perhaps be involved with seasonal affective disorder. In the darker winter months, the body apparently produces more melatonin. I have also found that taking melatonin worsens depression for me personally.
