Can anyone recommend an aromatherapy recipe for depression / anxiety via essential oils?

I just got a diffuser / a basic set of oils and would like to learn a few recipes to use for both depression and anxiety. If you have any recipes that have worked for you, I would appreciate them. Thank you.

For depression: any citrus, geranium, juniper
For anxiety: ylang-ylang, lavender, chamomile, bergamot

    To relieve Anxiety, you can use Rosemary, basil, peppermint, pine, lemongrass and juniper.

    To relieve Depression, roman and german chamomile, neroli, sandalwood, ylang ylang, frankincense, and clary sage, you can add one drop of narcissus, jonquil, linden blossom or violet leaf.
