In addition to what you mentioned:

 

Paleo diet, especially low-carb (marksdailyapple.com) under 150g carbs per day or ideally under 100g carbs per day. 

 

B vitamin, along with additional b-12 (methylcobalimin, sublingual), and Folic Acid or Methylfolate type supplement. 

 

Ensure light therapy is timed appropriately (waking after 7 to 8am tends to be depressogenic, and light therapy might not make much difference unless you wake to do it 6-7am). That being said, sleep deprivation can be just as bad for depression so getting to bed early and waking early is critical.  See CET.org, along with the book "chronotherapeutics for affective disorders", and the "ask the doctor" forums at CET.org.  Consider a dawn simulator if light therapy is too much burden.
