This article by Justin Garson on the American Philosophical Association's blog is extremely relevant to my life at the moment. A few months ago, shortly before receiving a diagnosis of Overtraining Syndrom from a consultant, my GP prescribed me an SNRI deal with both physical and mental symptoms that I was experiencing. I'm still on it.

Well this is fascinating. In a meta-review, several supplements ("nutraceuticals") either helped antidepressants work better or, in some cases, worked on their own for adults with depression, with broadly similar side-effect rates to placebo in the trials reviewed.
