The only supplement that I am aware of that needs to be taken is folate (one of the B vitamins) for women of child bearing age. It can reduce the incidence of neural tube defects in the baby. The dose is 800 units per day. This is for all women, not just depressed women.
I'm not aware of any supplement that needs to be taken for depression unless one takes SAM-e. In that case, B12 and folate should be taken.
