Micronutrients may affect depression

Finnish researchers recently published the results of their studies into the effect vitamins have on depression. Once again, we find a strong connection between mental health and the micronutrients we consume.

The researchers found that diets low in vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega 3 fatty acids may be associated with an increased depression risk. They also determined that a diet that is healthy overall and rich in vitamins B12 and vitamin D, as well as fish oils, may have a positive effect on depression.

This is one more study in a long line of studies establishing some sort of relationship between diet and mental health.

Jose’s success story: depression

I’d start this off with “once upon a time,” but this is no fairy tale. This is a little story, a true story, about someone who is back on track, and you could be too.

I’ve been dealing with mental illness as far back as I remember. It started with my father and later on in my life became my burden.

The inane search for magic bullets to treat mental illness

Dr. Bonnie Kaplan and Julia Rucklidge, two researchers who specialize in the connection between nutrition and mental health, recently wrote a blog post regarding the conventional approach to research in this area: single nutrients.

But here is the primary message that emerged from that examination of the literature: scientists were not studying nutrition in the way in which humans have evolved to require nutrients — consuming lots of them together and in balance.

Pamela’s success story: bipolar

My name is Pamela Tipping, and my mother was diagnosed 23 years ago with manic depression (bipolar), when I was 10 years old.

I had a tough time growing up; however, my mother is an incredible woman. Through those insane years, in and out of institutions, going through the severe effects of prescription meds, and raising 2 kids on her own, she managed to obtain her master’s degree in psychology and is now a highly regarded psychologist in a federal position. I am very proud of her.
