There are several reasons behind a person's depression. It could be some situations like death of a dear one, social isolation or major events that occurred in your life that were different from what you expected them to be. There are also internal reasons such as illness, excessive weight gain and other personal reasons that caused depression. According to the World Health Organization, depression is the leading cause of disease burden amongst high income countries.
A study published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity found that those who consumed soft drinks, fatty red meat or refined grains like pasta, white bread, crackers, or chips daily were 29 to 41% more likely to be diagnosed or treated for depression. In cases like this, the most natural way of getting rid of depression, is to change your diet and include happiness boosting foods in your diet.
