Studies examining the role of nutrition in depression are surprisingly sparse, but if you read between the lines, the connection is definitely there.  Most professionals still do not focus on nutrition as a contributing factor to depression.

The primary emphasis is still on issues such as a neurochemical aberration, stress, and the like. But from own perspec­tive, doctor believe that nutrition is a factor in about 25 percent of depressed individuals.

It’s debatable that few words in the English language are misused more than depression. Just as an example, if you’ve ever had a friend or family member who’s felt a little down in the dumps, chances are they’ve described them­selves as depressed.
