But I also know that depression tends to manifest differently in men than it does in women. (Or at least so they say...) I'm fortunate that I actually prefer, & mostly eat, many of the types of foods listed on the chart you posted. I can't say that doing so has any particular effect on my mood. But then perhaps if I ate differently I'd be in worse shape than I am too. Anyway, thanks for reinforcing the fact that I'm eating a lot of the right stuff! Gee... all of a sudden I'm feeling hungry!
I thought the same thing. That if I wasn't eating many of these things I'd feel worse. I have mild depression now. If you read the chart you can see what each food does for chemicals in the brain, don't know if you saw that. I found it very interesting.
