RE: A Better Diet May Help To Treat Depression

in #medicine7 years ago

Clinical depression (not a teenage one) is highly related to genetics and chemical disorders inside the individiuals central nervous system. It is treated with SSRI's and other anti-depressants. I don't know if a diet could help long-term but throwing junk food helps even if you don't have a depresssion.

Yes I get what you are saying. Genetics are certainly important but there are other factors at work too. We don't fully understand the mechanisms underlying it or how big each contributory factor is. I suspect it will vary from person to person. That's we we need to keep researching.
