Feelings of depression can linger for weeks or months and eventually become incapacitating. It can be either a short term, minor problem or a lifelong, life threatening illness. It begins with a disturbance in the part of the brain that regulates moods. Most people can handle everyday stresses; but, when stress is too great for a person...depression may be triggered.The causes of depression are not fully understood; but, may be triggered by tension, stress, chemical imbalances in the brain, a traumatic life event, chronic fatigue syndrome, poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, lack of exercise, menopause, a serious physical disorder, thyroid disease, alcoholism, drug abuse or food allergies. Heredity also is a significant factor; up to 50% of people suffering from recurrent episodes of depression have one or both parents that also experienced depression.A poor diet is a common cause of depression. The levels of brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters, (which help us maintain our good moods and energy levels), are controlled by what we eat. Sometimes, however, the movement of these neurotransmitters from cell to cell is not as efficient as it is suppose to be. This can cause anxiety, moodiness, loss of appetite and other symptoms of depression. The neurotransmitters most commonly connected with mood are serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. When the brain produces serotonin, tension is eased.
