It is written in the book "Food & Nutrition" by the Prevention Magazine writers that many nutritional deficiencies have depression as a symptom. However, psychiatrists and other physicians treating depression usually do not test for nutritional deficiencies. Natural mental health care oriented physicians who do consider nutritional deficiencies as a factor in depression suggest that nutritional deficiencies should be a consideration with depression especially if you also have fatigue, muscle weakness or irritability. Deficiencies in folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and potassium have been associated with depression. Studies have also suggested that cutting down caffeine, sugar, and refined carbohydrates can improve mood in some depressed people.
