Ditto on the Omega 3/fish-oil. It's a must-have daily drug for me. If I don't take at least 3 capsules a day, I start acting all jittery and crazy. Also to the OP: If you're drinking coffee, I suggest gradually stopping. It can cause seizure-like sensations for some people who can't tolerate it well. Everyone else has some good suggestions: exercise regularly! sleep early, and cut down on the processed foods, and eat more veggies. Also, I recommend adding in some spirituality for good measure. All of these are prudent ways to prevent mental breakdowns as you get older. Programmers are especially prone since some of us don't get much social interaction everyday
