Can Coffee help with depression? I heard it's an upper. Is this true?

I have depression, and want to know if coffee would help up my mood.

I have bipolar and the depression that comes with it. I have found that if your severely depressed pretty much nothing helps, not coffee or caffeine. But I just drank a large vanilla latte and it definitely helps. Try staying up for 24 hours drinking caffeine frequently and it might help your depression. This is what I do, not what the doc says of course. So yes caffeine can help depression at times.

I've just answered 2 other depression questions.
It's basically staying away from "processed foods and raw cane sugar".
Take Omega 3 supplements. (you can google search for their benefits)
Take Vit C
Drink lots of water 8-10 glasses daily.
Drink green tea.
Exercise jog, swim, bicycling, or even a walk in the park.
Here's a couple good articles worth reading. This is all natural - no drug medications. You can also google "depression and processed food" or "depression and vitamins". You'll be amazed at what you find out. A real eye opener.

(the second article talks about coffee)

No it will make things worse, as alcohol does. Exercise is good and a good talk. If you're interested look up www.cumuluscounselling.org
