Rosario, in my 23 yrs experience with these two monsters, I've learned that there are two different kinds of depression. One is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and is usually accompanied by anxiety. Many times, it's hereditary. That's the kind I have. I will always need medication to control both the depression and the anxiety.

There is the other type of depression that is caused by life's events and once those events are dealt with, the depression goes away. Sometimes, doctors will prescribe medications temporarily to help those individuals get through a tough time.

What NWTR says makes sense to me, although I've never had a doctor say anything to me about my diet to help me with either depression or anxiety. They don't know everything, either, so....
