Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) serum levels are inversely associated with depression's severity [1].

Give yourself a good BDNF boost through diet and/or exercise.

Ketogenic diet even improves on schizophrenia to the point that patients go off from medication [2] [3].

That's my alternative.
