If anything, I've read in a number of places that folic acid can help depression. There is a New York Times column from Jan 30 about how folic acid can apparently help cognitive function, and it also mentions it's crucial for children's neural development. I posted it in its entirety in the "alternatives to adderall" thread above. Whatever the case for your concerns, though- it's true- 400mg is a ridiculously low amount. I understand that a lot of nutritionists reccomend a lot more than that for people, and the lowlimit for the amount found in supplements was set long ago under fawlty reasoning. (per Atkins)
