Depression is one of the most frequent psychological problems encountered in medical practice. While the exact etiology of depression is unknown, numerous factors appear to contribute. These include genetics, life/event sensitization and biochemical changes. Nutrition, however, can play a key role, both in the onset, severity, and duration of depression, including daily mood swings. The nutritional treatment of depression include dietary modifications, supportive treatment with vitamins and minerals, and supplementation with specific amino acids, which are precursors to neurotransmitters. Dietary modification and vitamin and mineral supplementation in some cases reduce the symptoms of depression or result in an improvement in general well-being.
