Supplements for Teenage Daughter with depression

My 15 y/o daughter recently told me she is depressed and had suicidal thoughts.  I took her to our Dr. who immediately put her on antidepressants.  My daughter is taking them but now she is unmotivated and gaining weight.  I was wondering if you have a supplement you would recommend versus the medication she is on?  I would love to bring her in for a SPECT but we live in Australia and unfortunately I can’t bring her in at this time.

Thanks for being part of our community. I am very sorry to hear about your daughter.  I am often not a fan of antidepressants for teenagers without first trying natural treatments, like cognitive therapy (Killing the ANTs), omega 3 fatty acids, and intense exercise.  Have her take our brain health assessment to see which supplements may help support her brain.
