Default Banana Therapy

My mom knows a doctor in Taiwan who wrote a book called "Banana
Therapy". The doctor insists you can treat and/or cure
depression/anxiety symptoms by increasing your intake of bananas, which
are high in tryptophan. He also recommends eating turkey instead of
chicken because of the tryptophan. Is there any truth in this?
According to the amount listings in the book I am eating roughly 30g of
tryptophan per day.
