There is plenty of empirical evidence.
Here is a start:

http://dietary-supplements.info.nih...s/vitaminb6.asp
"Vitamin B6 and the nervous system
Vitamin B6 is needed for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as
serotonin and dopamine [1]. These neurotransmitters are required for
normal nerve cell communication. Researchers have been investigating
the relationship between vitamin B6 status and a wide variety of
neurologic conditions such as seizures, chronic pain, depression,
headache, and Parkinson's disease [18]."
http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSuppl...ridoxinecs.html
"Symptoms of pyridoxine deficiency include muscle weakness,
nervousness, irritability, depression, difficulty concentrating, and
short-term memory loss."
http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSuppl...obalamincs.html
"Vitamins B12, B6, and B9 (folate) work closely together to control
blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine. Elevated levels of this
substance appear to be linked with heart disease and, possibly,
depression and Alzheimer's disease."

And vitamin C has been shown to work synergistically with the b vitamin
complex to aleviate anxiety and depression.
Do you guys think that I am just making this shit up? What I say here
about food and nutrtion is the culmination of over 6 years of intense
self-education and study in the field of nutrition, and more
importantly, a very rigid application of a well developed bullshit
meter.
