It can be a good antidepressant, but definitely won't help anxiety. I've recently quit coffee as well and it's done wonders for my anxiety.

This abstract says that depression risk decreased by ~8%, but I still think this is an amazing finding.

I also wish I was scientifically literate enough to understand how good the study is :P
