Question: At home foods to help get rid or regulate depression?

(Posted by: I <3 Lloyd! on 2010-03-10 13:53:31)

I have a strong feeling that I am depressed. When I went to the doctor for just a regular physical my doctor told me that she believes that i am depressed, and there is a long line of depression on my mom's side of the family. Also I tend to loose interest in the things I love, I never want to hang out or engage in convo's with my friends anymore, and I get extremely sad and sometimes cry when I am alone. REAL QUESTION: What are some really good foods that can help rid or regulate depression, and do multi vitamins help? I heard that multi vitamins can make depression worse. I'm not trying to lose weight! people please read the question!

Avoiding alcohol, sugars and starchy carbs will help A LOT, as these can cause fatigue which worsens depression. Staying hydrated is important, and studies have shown that people with depression are often chronically dehydrated. Regular moderate exercise is important, and boost vitamin D levels from the sunshine. See the weblink below to get some additonal info. Obviously, if the depression continues or worsens, see a physician for evaluation. Love & Blessings
