Buy some supplements that contain Vitamin D and Iron. Most people are deficient and it affects their mood. I got some meal replacements that basically contain everything and it's kept me in good spirits while everything is going to shit. I should be depressed, but I'm not.

EDIT: Iodine too. The over-the-counter stuff is called "kelp" and the reason they don't put it in multivitamins is because it metabolizes into a substance that in excess will give you gout. Iodine is hard to get from your diet so having supplements every now and then is important.

No worries about the iodine, we always buy iodized salt and consume fish once or twice a week. However, I do think that I may some sort of calcium deficiency. I'm going to look into L-Tyrosine and Vitamin D. Currently, I've been taking Omega-3 capsules, but I don't consume it regularly. And most probably, I'll need a little bit of sunlight too.
