Dietary
Mediterranean Diet
for Depression
A Mediterranean-style diet rich in vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, and olive oil has been associated with lower rates of depression and better mental health outcomes.
How it works
Anti-inflammatory food pattern reduces systemic inflammation linked to depression. Rich in B vitamins, folate, omega-3s, and polyphenols that support neurotransmitter synthesis and neuroprotection.
What to watch for
Dietary change is a long-term commitment. The SMILES trial showed benefit as an adjunct to other treatment, not as a standalone cure for clinical depression.
