"Depressive symptoms in environmental illnesses are more likely due to activation of TNF-a which presents as "sickness behavior". It would account for the fatigue and the depression. Because sulforaphane enhances expression of Nrf2, depressive symptoms may be relieved by prophylactic ingestion of broccoli. While some think that the depression is caused by activation of the corticosteroid system, I do not agree." If nothing else, it is worth the try!
