Is there such a thing as food that can help alleviate depression?

when i cut out junk food and high sodium foods from my diet i noticed i felt a lot happier overall. that was just me though, but it might not be a bad idea to cut that stuff from your diet.

if your emotional state is already fragile, being generally unhealthy makes you feel worse. It's not that there are foods that alleviate depression. It's that if you are devouring tons of junk, overdosing on sugar, and missing out on vitamins, you're adding a general layer of biological shittiness on top of whatever else was bringing you down.

Clinical depression? I don't know, probably not. Eating healthy and including physical exercise in your life seems to help most people. Dark chocolate may alleviate symptoms of regular, everyday depression (sadness) because of the stimulants in it. Milk chocolate (with a lot of sugar) won't have the same effect unless you eat so much of it the sugar would cancel out the good shit in there.

I've heard that turmeric and cashews are almost as good as antidepressants. They don't really work for me, but neither do most prescriptions.

One of the teachers I worked with put turmeric on just about everything she eats in the lunchroom and claims it's helped with her arthritis more than any other pills she's been on.

Cashews are said to help, but if you are experiencing real depression and not just feeling sad once in a while I would recommend talking with your doc.
