A new trial from Deakin University has shown for the first time that improving diet quality can treat major depression.
Director of Deakin's Food and Mood Centre Professor Felice Jacka said the results of her team's new study offered a possible new treatment approach to depression, one of the world's most prevalent and costly medical disorders.
"We've known for some time that there is a clear association between the quality of people's diets and their risk for depression," Professor Jacka said.
