Well, it would be supportive for mood disorders, but it is more strictly anxiolytic. I think if you go to pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez and search on "taurine anxiety" you'll get a good start on the subject. Mostly rodent studies, because you can't patent/profit from a natural substance. That said, the treatment for alcoholism, acamprosate, is based on taurine. And it activates GABA receptors while blocking NMDA receptors.
