I've been tired lately from quitting smoking so I've turned to coffee. I've noticed if I'm depressed and I drink coffee, it seems to relieve a little bit of the depression. I read this study that coffee reduces the risk of suicide in men and women by 50%. So it must have some antidepressant action to it, maybe the dopamine. Even when I've been really anxious, a half cup of coffee does not cause extreme anxiety, but a full one does. Luckily I don't deal with the same anxiety anymore, but coffee is great. I had a pumpkin spice latte today from starbucks and I feel great now. So everyone drink more coffee, unless you truly can't due to anxiety.
I usually think a lot of Harvard publications; yet, in all honesty, I'd seriously question that study.
Suicidal depression is much more serious than that which can be resolved with a cup of coffee.

That said, I LOVE coffee... very robust coffee... decaf. I am a big fan of Starbucks' dark coffees.

Congrats on quitting smoking! Wow!
