Relationship of Diet to Depression

Abstract

Brown et al. [2] defined depression as a disorder presented with major symptoms like increased sadness and anxiety, loss of appetite, depressed mood, and a loss of interest and pleasure in activities previously perceived pleasurable. Patients suffering of depression have a suicidal tendency to a larger degree and hence are usually treated with antidepressants and/or psychotherapy [2]. Hence to establish an effective therapeutic intervention is necessary to provide a better quality of life for the patients and a positive outcome to the community.
