Fair enough. I suspected that my posting above could come off as "bro-science".
But regarding the supplements or nutrients omega-3 & zinc. They do help. I provided the findings. Meditation also works.
Some links supporting my case:

Key points I made out of these links above:
- Mindfulness/Meditation
- Omega-3 (EPA > DHA)
- Zinc
- Protein
- Exercise 30 min/d (walking, calisthenics)
- Low sugar, caffeine, and carbohydrates
- Schedule/"game plan" (calendars, task lists)
I am also disappointed with how this "Ask HN" of mine unfolded.
It is perhaps my fault. I should have clarified things from the start.
My intention was to (prematurely?) optimize self-help strategies without medication, but my point wasn't well taken it seems.
