Is there a particular type of food/foods and/or diet that help with depression? Perhaps somebody knows of a website I can visit on this subject....when I say diet I don't mean a weight reduction type diet per se...I mean are there dietary changes that could be made to help?

An overall healthy diet helps a lot. Drink lots of water, and limit the sugar and fat you eat. Every little bit helps. Also make sure you are getting all your vitamins and minerals in the proper amounts, especially Folic Acid. Too much with the vitamins can be just as bad as too little. They can cause emotional problems if they get out of balance.
The other way to attack this is to stay active. Get out and do things, interact with others. Do things with them, for them, or even just for yourself. Trust me...it works.

I think eating healthier overall can have a positive effect on people's mental health. Less fat in the diet.
Knowing that you're nourishing the body can nourish the mind because you know you are doing something good for yourself!

Are you drinking enough pure water, its been shown to help a lot. Fruits and berries also are helpful to many people.
