What's going on???
What's causing the richest country in the world to be the sad and depressed?
Let do some root digging!!!
Some of the major disorders causing depression are:
- Candida
- Constipation
- Thyroid disorders
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Hormone imbalance
- Medications
- Toxic liver
- Chronic Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Brain chemical imbalances
- Adrenal insufficiency
- Some prescription drugs
- Lack of sleep
- STRESS
And a whole lot more......
Now let's dig a little deeper
If you have depression - it does not mean you have a deficiency of an anti-depressant, it means there is a problem. Depression is a symptom!
Most related to the food on the fork!
Did you ever think a diet soda could make you depressed?
Other reasons for depression:
- Aspartame can cause depression (primarily due to the Methanol content of Aspartame).
- Amalgam fillings - due to the mercury content!
- Metal in teeth, depression in brain!!! Yikes
- Steroid drugs
- Birth control pills
- Sugar, sugar, sugar can make you sad and fat and then you are in a vicious cycle.
- Trans fatty acids give you high cholesterol and make you depressed!
- Excess caffeine
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Toxic liver - according to the Chinese the liver is the seat of emotion

Thanks, but for many of us, depression is a chemical inbalance. I have a fantasitc life and have very few bouts of sadness. I find I completely enjoy most every single day of my life.
However, 15 years ago, I just about tore the heart out of my best friend. I knew something was dramatically wrong. No one, nothing was right, even though I knew it was. I could only see the dark side.
A small, low dose of an anti-deppressant (seritonin uptake inhibitor?) has helped me be the person I always was, before periomenopause. Recently, my insurance company decided that they would no longer cover the cost of my meds and switched me to a different brand. Similar, I hear, but within a week of stopping the one and switching to the other, the witch in me began to appear. I wanted to cry all day, yell at people, and felt close to hiding in the closet until it all passed.
For me, and many women, it is a far cry from sadness - I have experienced extreme sadness, and depression does not even begin to match those feelings.

Anno, another thing we have in common. I still battle with it (deep depression) on occasion, but it's nothing like it use to be. I went through close to 10 years of HELL. I chose not to take anti-depressants, for personal reasons.
In the first list, Valarie mentioned chemical imbalances, too, so she had that covered, along with many other possibilities.
I've found caffeine effects my mood, so I know that one is true for me.
Maybe she should have worked on "sad" and "depression" in different articles, or maybe made more of a point to separate the two. I think I'll email her and pass your point on to her.

Oh, how many times I heard, "Buck up" (bad taste in my mouth, still)...
I agree it might strike some as a bit dismissive of real depression. But, I know, for sure, she didn't intend it that way.
Even with chemical imbalances, other factors can make depression worse. For instance, lack of sunshine came compound depression's effects, for some.

Sad foods that I do consume:
Cake (at a gourmet coffeeshop)
Ice cream/gelato (again only at the ice cream shop)
coffee/tea
Cheese
For above first 2, it would be disastrous if we bought and kept the 2 in the home fridge.
