Depression Nutrition Therapy Quotes:
Some people are so sensitive they feel snubbed if an epidemic overlooks them. By Frank Hubbard Find out about Depression Nutrition Therapy
Prevention and Treatment for Depression
* Make sure you have a diet that provides adequate amounts of clcium and protein.
* If you crave carbohydrates, go on a high-carbohydrate diet. supplemented with 500 to 1,000 milligrams of I-tryptophan, taken three times a day with juice.
* If you are lethargic and depressed, and do not crave carbohydrates take a gram of tyrosine three times a day with meals.
* If you are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MA 0 inhibitors), be sure to consume a tyramine-restricted diet.
* If you are on antidepressants, watch your weight carefully.
Lynn had always been a happy sort of teenager, but during the last six months she seemed to have changed completely. In fact, since her seven teeth birthday she had gradually drifted away from most of her friends. She had stopped caring about her looks, lost interest in everybody and everything, and withdrawn into herself. She had also lost her appetite and found it difficult to sleep. Her schoolwork, too, suddenly seemed unimportant to her performance in school fell off precipitously. Her mother noticed that Lynn had gained a good deal of weight, and that she would binge on cakes cookies, and chocolate at almost any time of day.
Lynn's mother had confided her concern about her daughter to a friend, and the friend had told her that she had been given a tryptophan supplement when she felt depressed and that it had worked well. Lynn went to a psychiatrist specializing in nutritional therapies. He ruled out physical or metabolic causes for her depression, such as hypoglycemia , and he agreed that tryptophan might help. Lynn started taking one gram of crypto three times a day. After four weeks, she said she began to feel much better. Within a year, she was able to stop taking the tryptophan and is once again a sociable young woman, as well as a successful student looking forward to college.
Other Advice:
There are many people who feel that controlling depression through natural dietary supplements and adjustments is far preferable to the use of antidepressant drugs, like the MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants. However, in cases of massive, continuing depression, or true emotional imbalances that severely disrupt a person's life, a doctor's care and appropriate medication are advised. The simple dietary supplements discussed here are intended for people who are usually well balanced, and who suffer only rarely or occasionally from depression and/or lethargy.
The emotionally ill, on the other hand, show dramatic changes in neurotransmitter levels that cannot be corrected solely by dietary supplements. Coffee will not cure depression. It is a brain stimulant and will temporarily improve your energy level and concentration. Although some unconventional therapists suggest that certain foods cause depression, this has yet to be proved. There is no harm in trying this approach, though it is unlikely that the majority of patients will benefit. In those cases where there is an apparent success, it also generally takes a long time to isolate the problem food, during which time the patient gets no relief.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
I have not seen recent questions and answers in the US about TMS. It has just been approved here but I know you guys have had it for a while. I would like to hear from people who have had it, or are now having this treatment. What I'd like to know is the reason you are doing it, whether you think it is successful, and whether there were side effects.
I have been battling depression for years, tried many medications and combinations of medications, tried therapy, nutrition, yoga, etc... The psychiatrist suggested it to me.
Wow, you guys, thank you. Lots of reading. My first answerer, I do 80% of your suggestions, I just have a really hard to treat depression. And my second answerer, it is not experimental in the US anymore. It was approved just last month by the FDA.
TMS is a treatment shown in the first 3 pages of section 2, on depression, at ezy build, below, but I have no feedback on it, yet. See http://www.bluepages.anu.edu.au/treatments/what_works/medical_treatments/transmag_stimul Not promising! A multidimensional approach to treating depression without medication follows. All except for no. (7.) are safe to use with medication, but not St. John's wort, because of interactions, and it's sensible to check out anything else first with your doctor.
(1.) Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or grapefruit, or their FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it. In the winter months, replace 2 Omega 3 with a teaspoonful of cod liver oil, if not getting sufficient daily exposure to strong light (http://www.mercola.com/ SEARCHBAR: enter: "vitamin D"). Also take a vitamin B complex which is certified as being 100% of natural origin; a deficiency in vitamin B9 (folic acid, or folate) is known to cause depression. Around 30% - 40% of depressed people have low vitamin B12 levels. Depressed females using the contraceptive pill may benefit from vitamin B6 supplements. ~~~ (2.) Work up slowly to at least 20 minutes minutes of exercise, daily, or 30 - 60 mns, 5 times weekly. Too much exercise can cause stress, which isn't wanted when dealing with depression. ~~~ (3.) Occupational therapy (keeping busy allows little time for unproductive introspection, and keeps mental activity out of less desirable areas of the brain).
(4.) Use daily, a relaxation method* and/or yoga*, and/or Tai Chi. ~~~ (5.) Initially, at least, some form of counselling, preferably either Cognitive Behavio(u)ral Therapy, or Rational Emotive Behavio(u)ral Therapy. ~~~ (6.) Maintain a mood chart, and daily activities schedule. ~~~ (7.) As options, if desired, either a known, effective herbal remedy, such as St. John's wort, (get a German variety, if possible; local ones may vary in effectiveness. Take with a meal) or supplements, such as SAMe, or Inositol (from vitamin and health food stores, some supermarkets, or mail order: view section 55).
If 5HTP is used to boost serotonin levels, (which are low in depressed people) it is best taken with a high carbohydrate, minimal protein meal, like pasta, with tomato & basil, and avoid protein for 90 minutes, before, and after, to maximise the amount crossing the blood/brain barrier. Also, 80% of people in the Western world have low magnesium levels, and these are known to cause depression & anxiety. Try the magnesium supplement types shown in http://www.real-depression-help.com/ Some of these will be available in pharmacies, or supermarkets. Low levels of calcium, and potassium can also cause depression. Have your blood tested, and correct any deficiencies, preferably through improved nutrition.
An improvement can be noticed in as little as a week, if a deficiency is the cause. Also, use iodised salt, as many people are deficient, affecting thyroid function (one of the treatments in books on depression is iodine drops). Try to imagine, as vividly as possible, a time in the not too distant future, when you have overcome this temporary setback, and things are much better. *View section 2, on the first 3 pages, and also pages R, C, I, and section 11, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris Also check out page V, and eventually the rest of section 2.
