I'd never heard of DNA methylation before. I just found this at
http://esciencenews.com/articles/2008/07/30/study.identifies.changes.dna.major.depression.and.suicide

"The rate of [DNA] methylation in the suicide brains was found to be much greater than that of the control group."

It looks like most of the research on DNA methylation has been done by cancer researchers.

Sulforaphane, which is found in high levels in broccoli sprouts, helps to normalize DNA methylation. There are sulforaphane supplements and broccoli sprout extract supplements available online.
