Lamb
Lamb is a great source of vitamin B-12 and zinc and a fairly good source of iron and vitamin B-6, all nutrients that people with depression tend to be deficient in. Read about the nutrient profile of lamb and get Mom's recipe for Moroccan lamb chops.
As an added bonus, if the lamb has been on pasture (and much of the lamb sold commercially in the U.S. fits this category), it will also have a decent level of Omega 3 fatty acids. Like beef, it is not an Omega 3 super food,but it will provide a good balance of Omega 3 and 6s in your diet.
