In reply to Why would folic acid help depression?, posted by Jimmyboy on December 30, 2006, at 14:35:03
Folic acid is needed for the synthesis of ser/nor/dopamine, as well it is used in the synthesis of SAMe.
I think folic acid is also critical for neurogenesis. Supposedly slight deficiancies can reduce hippocampal proliferation.
