Depressed?

An article in Parade Magazine asked; Can Diet Affect Depression?

It goes on to say, “people who regularly consume fish, fruit and vegetables reduce the chances of suffering from depression.”

This may be true, because the type of person who eats like that, probably is a sane, well regulated person and has control over many aspects of his/her life. I wonder if the writer ever considered that people who eat a diet like that were probably not suffering from depression in the first place? Maybe, that is why they ate like that.

If depression is as simple as to be caused by a chemical imbalance, I doubt very much that diet will correct it unless you know which chemicals are causing your problem and can correct that through what you eat. I believe that is what doctors try to do. However, I think depression is far more complicated than a chemical imbalance and It must start way back in time with the person that suffers. Perhaps the person can’t handle it himself/herself and must seek professional help.
