There is definately a link between folate and depression, people with depression may have lower than normal blood folate levels.
Research in Norway has also found that people with high levels of Homocysteine in the blood, were nearly twice as likely to be depressed.

Foods rich in Folate are Spinach, peas, cabbage, Broccoli, Oranges, Avocadoes, it is important to have a good amount of folate in your diet. If this is not possible, consider taking a supplement.
