I hear B and D vitamins help. I also hear that doctors aren't really sure if vitamin supplements even work, so eat leafy greens and beans and get some sun.

Vitamin D supplements are very well attested to work, but it's true that some other kind of supplements either don't matter or aren't really bioavailable to humans. Those chewy multivitamins and plant-based omega-3 sources don't seem to really help anything, for instance.
By the way, omega-3 from fish oil has strong evidence of an effect on major depression[1], but not the everyday kind. And that doesn't mean take it just in case, it could be bad for you!
