The making of neurotransmitters - important chemicals are involved in your mental well-being - require a number of ‘raw materials’ so to speak. These raw materials, work to make neurotransmitters - chemical messages - that ‘speak’ to cells in your brain and other parts of your body (nerves, muscles, glands etc).

Once I understood this - I really began to understand how what we consume has a direct effect on how you feel. How lacking in one or more of these raw materials can contribute to depression.
