I don't know in general, but my anecdotal experience is it's a double edged sword. I get a huge huge mood boost from it, occasionally bordering on slight mania, but normally just enough to erase my depression for a few hours. It varies a lot though, and I am not sure why.
But, it seems to severely impact my sleep so I typically stop drinking it at 11 am. It also ramps up anxiety, so really in lieu of any actual antidepressants, that erm, antidepress, it's an anxiety vs depression tradeoff, and one which usually has me reaching for coffee.
Context matters though. I have one to 3 moderately strong cups a day, the amount depends on what I am up to.
