Is folic acid help with types of depression?

I have just visited the Center's for diseases control department http://www.cdc.gov in order to get informed in advances in science and I found also useful information in another site http://www.yourhealthnews/folate.html
They make the correlation on what you are asking and it is refered that a lot of older people have folic acid defficiency.Everything on the basis of studies that have been done.

Seems that the link doesn't work properly. You can go to http://yourhealthbase.com and look under folate
