During my run in with the black dog, I was also warned against caffeine or other stimulants. There can be an element of chemical imbalance to depression, which makes those affected more susceptible to over-reacting to external chemical substances. Effects can be exaggerated or unpredictable and aren't likely to make life better. Keep food and drink as simple and unprocessed as possible.
