Description
Counselling and medication gain most of the treatment attention for depression, but the promise of dietary changes to help to improve the outlook of people with depression and other common conditions such as anxiety is gaining traction. Welcome to the rapidly moving world of nutritional psychiatry which is uncovering key links between diet and mental health. And one such dietary pattern, the Mediterranean diet, is now building a research base behind it to support a change to the dietary themes this diet promotes to help improve mental health. And that’s what I’ll be exploring more about in this podcast episode.Links referred to in the podcastSMILES trial https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-017-0791-yEffect of a Mediterranean diet with fish oil on depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29215971Effect of a Mediterranean diet on depression in young men https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35441666Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript’ tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim
