When it comes to depression, I think it's important to note that it's a symptom and no condition.
Hitting someone on a head in a way that produces a trauma often causes symptoms of depression. That depression might have a completely different optimal treatment method than depression caused by a more psychological issue.
A gluten insensitivity can also produce depressive symptoms.
Interesting. Do you have references for this?
Unfortunately it's knowledge that I acquired orally.
I quick googling for signs of gluten insensitivity however reveals:
Mayo clinic writes:
They don't use the word depression but I think a person who happens to have those symptoms scores on the Hamilton scale.
Okay, thanks! I'll probably check into it further myself. I've trained myself to be skeptical of gluten-related claims, only cause it's become the placebo of choice in some circles recently. This sounds pretty plausible, though.
