Someone I know who was suffering from depression went to a psychiatrist because she was suffering from depression.
The psychiatrist gave her different anti depressions which didn't work.
He eventually told her to reduce her intake of sugar, wheat, caffeine and alcohol.
My conclusion from this is that excess wheat, sugar, caffeine and alcohol can cause depression.

Alcohol is a depressant.
Sugar and wheat are food.
Caffeine is a stimulant.

I burn calories jumping to conclusions all the time. It's how I stay so slim.
Eta... Ok maybe that was mean. It seems like a bit of a stretch. I mean... I can list off a whole lot of things in my life that depress me more than sugar and caffeine. I'd do better at eliminating those things before I go drastic and cut out coffee.0 -

I always took the depictions of Gin Lane & Beer Street (William Hogarth) to be 100% accurate. Drink beer it makes all problems disappear.0

Take two plates and call me in the morning.0 -
My friend went gluten free and nearly cured herself of quite a few mental health issues. If she would stop drinking and eating candy she probably would be able to sleep a normal schedule and might be able to move past some serious issues she's been dealing with in the recent past.
But I'm sure she's a special snowflake and these results are just because of her specific problems. Obviously this is anecdotal and not scientific proof, it's just actual proof.

I'm always sad when I run out of beer.0

If all of this was in "excess," perhaps she was depressed from the consequences of excess anything...?0
