I suffered through depression for over a year (had slight symptoms for around 5 yrs) and was hypoglycemic, gaining weight fast.
Anyway, this diet was a life saver for me. I have not had the depression symptoms ever since I began and I can do things now without panic attacts. I am not a fan of medication for depression, but understand that for some it is totally needed.
But, It could be that you are insulin sensitive and depression is common with insulin highs and lows which affect your seritonin levels.
