Till now, we believed psychological disturbances to be the main reason behind depression. At the same time, food items, at least some of them, were considered to be one of the tools that help fight depression. However, it is now being noticed that certain types of food, if consumed in excess, can create the feeling of depression in an individual. The reason for this is the fact that certain type of foods are low in cholesterol, sugars and fat, at the same time being high in protein. This combination leads to low production of serotonin, ‘the happy-maker', and in turn, makes you feel depressed. In the following lines, we have provided a list of foods responsible for causing depression. Try to consume these food items in moderation and compensate the loss with other foods.
