Ignore the above!\n\nStay AWAY from sugar, high glycemic carbs, and caffeine. That means no ice cream, cakes, cookies, sodas, chips, or other junk foods. They cause mood swings that make depression more difficult to manage, because they will pick you up on an artificial high for a short time, but then drop you lower than you were before.  And eating that way repeatedly will cause long term deterioration of your health and weight gain, which will make the depression worse.\n\nThe key to using food to help you manage depression is simply to eat healthy, in ways that gradually improve your energy level in an even and sustained way.  Lean protein, lots of fresh (preferably organic) fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of whole grains.  If you need a guide, check out the Williams Sonoma/Mayo Clinic cookbook.  Put that together with a really good exercise program, maybe a combination of yoga and running or swimming or some other cardio activity, and you will definitely start feeling brighter.  And don't forget lots of water and a good multi-vitamin too.\n\nGood luck.

Get moderate exercise and plenty of sunshine.\n\nA walk first thing in the morning is likely to help!\n\nIf you feel depressed for longer than a couple weeks, you should see a doctor or therapist.  Talk therapy and the right medicine are best for depression.\n\nSome nonpharmacologic methods of treating depression include psychotherapy, exercise, support groups, self-help literature, and light therapy. Patients shouldn't undergo nonpharmacologic therapies unsupervised or for prolonged periods because longer periods of depression are more resistant to treatment and 70% to 80% of patients respond to an adequate trial of pharmacologic therapy.7,12,16,17

People eat when they are depressed because some foods make your body release small amounts serotonin, which is a chemical your brain is not getting enough of when you're depressed.

Try exercising...it really does make a chemical difference in your brain, which affects your moods. Stick with fresh, whole foods (no processed or fast foods). Start thinking about your life goals and what your purpose on earth is - and find strength in your chosen religion. Ask a doctor about a prescription for an anti-depressant like Zoloft. Try acupuncture. Watch funny movies and take meticulous care of yourself. I hope you feel better soon. The important thing to remember is: You can eventually start to feel better.

I believe that a healthy diet affects the mood in an amazing way. Sugar and junk food such as chips... brings us down. Vitamin B complex and B 12 are helpful. Omega fatty acids such as \nHemp oil and flax seed oil, walnuts, Brazil nuts have been proven to enhance the mood.\nAnd the thing that really works for me and many people I know is practice of Yoga. You could do research on that and see the link between Yoga and depression. It really lifts up a person's mood.\nI don't think there is such a thing as one best natural mood enhancer. There are a series of thing we must to and adopt a healthy lifestyle in order to feel better.

Unfortunately a lot of the anti-depressants cause weight gain.  All you can do is limit the food in the house and your access to it.\n\nWhat exercises can you do instead of snacking?  Is there tidying, hobbies or decorating things you can do instead?

You definitely need to see a doctor before it gets worse to determine whether therapy, medication or both are the best route for you to take. Also, a quick fix that I found is eating dark chocolate - it gave me just enough to get over the depression feelings - but it doesn't last long - maybe a couple hours max.\n\n\nwww.mommastayshome.com
