L-methylfolate (brand name: Deplin) may help with symptoms of depression if you lack certain enzymes.
According to the Mayo Clinic,
"Taking L-methylfolate: This prescription supplement provides a form of the B vitamin folic acid, which is necessary for the production of neurotransmitters in the brain linked to mood. Taking this supplement may help with depression if you lack the enzymes to properly break down folate from foods or from standard folic acid supplements."
If you are not interested/unable to take antidepressants, are you also utilizing other treatment options, including psychotherapy? Are you interested in learning about alternative and complementary medicine options that are available? For instance, some individuals have found acupuncture to help treat some of their symptoms.
