> If caffeine were a true antidepressant, I think we would see more people using it as such. It would certainly be in the media if it were. It would not remain the best kept secret in psychiatry - nor the rest of the world. I have strategically used coffee and caffeine pills as a psychic energy booster and a mood elevator since the early 1980s. It did more for me consistently than the failed antidepressants I was exposed to. It does for depressed people as it does for healthy people. No more. Perhaps less.
