      <abstract>
        <p>Depression affects more than 300 million individuals worldwide. The biggest source of nonfatal illness burden is depression. Individuals suffering from mental illness may have difficulty coping with their daily lives, including family and job. Depression may be linked to a disruption in magnesium metabolism. Resources may be motivated to prevent and promote healthy lifestyle behaviours based on evidence of a good influence on depressed symptoms of depression through dietary adjustments. Magnesium is necessary for energy production, dysrhythmia prevention, blood pressure regulation, insulin resistance prevention, and bone homeostasis. Oral magnesium supplementation may help to avoid depression and could be used as a supplement to other treatments. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the association of magnesium with the incidence of depression among adults. According to existing literature there is an inverse relation between magnesium and depression. Magnesium supplementation may potentially be beneficial in the treatment of depression. Because of its impact on NMDA receptors, changes in magnesium levels in the body may play a significant role in the development of depression. However, further research is needed to generate evidence for association of magnesium with depression.&#13;
