Caffeine could possibly produce depression in some individuals. I do get a perk from sleep deprivation and it seems that drinking coffee the next morning seems to bring my mood down a bit. But at other times, it can improve my mood.
That being said, A1 antagonists (including caffeine) do produce antidepressant effects in some animal models. Also, A2 antagonists (including caffeine) produce neuroprotective effects and may reduce the risk of parkinsons.
