Diet and depression: what you eat impacts your mood

Big ol’ caveat on this thing, because even if a dietary change does change your mood, an improved mood does not mean you no longer long for death or no longer spend hours in unfathomable inscrutable dread and shame. I’ve been eating mostly plants for way longer than I’ve been taking a serotonin modulator, I’m pretty sure the latter has done a lot more to heal my psyche. (tho, could be post hoc fallacy I guess, maybe it just took 9 years for my healthy diet to kick in and that just happened to be around the time I started this one medication)
