The Anti-Depressant Food Score: Evidence-Based Nutrient Profiling System for Depression
This presentation describes the Anti-depressant Food Score, a nutrient profiling system devised to assist in the treatment of depressive disorders. Evidence suggests dietary pattern is key to the prevention and treatment of depressive disorders, yet treatment rarely includes food recommendations. Nutrient profiling systems rank foods according to nutrient density and guide consumer choice and clinical recommendations. No current food rating scale focuses on nutrients required for mental health. The Anti-depressant Food Score lists foods and food categories with the highest concentrations of 12 antidepressant nutrients that should be considered by consumers and clinicians as dietary options to support prevention and recovery from depression.
