In accordance with the serotonin theory of depression, it may be possible to treat depression by increasing insulin activity. Evidence suggests that insulin activity plays a role in serotonergic activity by increasing the influx of tryptophan into the brain.
If you want to increase your serotonin levels (your happiness levels), eat chocies. Of course anti-depressants would be the best thing for depression. Speak to your doc about insulin.

Old methods
Insulin shock treatment is an old and currently mostly abandoned treatment of severe depressions, psychoses, catatonic states and other mental disorders. It consists of induction of hypoglycemic coma by intravenous infusion of insulin. The treatment is potentially unsafe and can be lethal in some cases (about 1% of patients undergoing insulin coma), even with proper monitoring. That was the main reason why it was abandoned from current medical practice. In contrast, ECT is considered to be very safe.
Nevertheless, insulin shock therapy is still officially used in Russia and some other countries, and can be administered to a very treatment-resistant patient under his written consent in many Western countries.
