I have seen studies where people who drink coffee have less symptoms of depression.
I think symptoms are more shifted toward anxiety, since caffeine increases cortisol.The problem with caffeine is that it is addictive so you will evenually need higher doses.
Other studies have shown that an unknown substance in coffee increases insulin sensitivity. This will also stabalize mood.
Unfortunately caffeine decreases insulin sensitivity, but not as much.
