Depression & Nutrition

For some reason depression is quite a taboo subject, and yet 1 in 4 people within the UK will suffer from some sort of Clinical Depression during their lifetime. People often suffer for years without diagnosis or treatment and unless you feel relatively happy and motivated then the chances are that you may also have some degree of depression yourself. See the symptoms list below to see if you could make improvements on your mood.

• Feelings of sadness or downhearted
• Feel down in the morning
• Find it difficult to face the day
• Crying spells
• Insomnia, both getting to sleep and staying asleep through the night
• Poor appetite
• Weight loss
• Feeling of low self esteem
• Feeling fearful
• Irritable and angry
• Difficulty making decisions
• Lack of motivation
• Not enjoying activities that you used to.

While it is important to tackle any underlying problems or issues in your life, there is also a lot that can be achieved through nutrition and supplementation, in the treatment of depression. These dietary changes need not be drastic, just some minor adjustments and additional nutrients, can have a very powerful affect on the way you feel. Research shows that nutrition can have a much more positive and long lasting affect on depression, than many pharmaceutical medications, especially certain anti-depressants.
