Let’s dive into the best foods for anxiety and the best foods for depression - plus which foods to limit or reduce so you can optimize your mental health.
Depression and anxiety are actually very closely linked in terms of their causes and how they manifest. And this is why there are many similar foods that reduce anxiety AND depression by helping to bring our bodies and brains into balance.
First, we’ll run through which foods to avoid with anxiety and depression because they may contribute to or worsen symptoms. Then, I’ll share some of the foods that help anxiety and foods that help depression based on the existing scientific research.
Whether you’re looking specifically for anxiety relief or anti depression foods, or you’re focused on taking care of your overall mental health, I hope these foods for anxiety and depression can be helpful for you!
Keep in mind, no specific food is a treatment for anxiety or depression, and these recommendations are NOT a substitute for medical or psychiatric advice. Please consult with your physician or mental health professional before making lifestyle changes, especially any changes that involve medications.

[@MindOverMunch]

On my journey to healing my relationship with food, health and my body, I’ve tried just about every diet, way of eating and “approach” to health. I’ve found that sometimes the food matters as much as we think it does, and sometimes it does not. At the end of the day, what is really important is how you FEEL. So don’t eat more of these or less of these foods because they are on the list-instead, listen to the best expert of you-YOU! If you struggle with anxiety or depression, and you eat a lot of these foods-it might be worth taking a look at. Or it might be worth adding in some of the ones rich in antioxidant goodness. At the end of the day, don’t set any hard and fast “rules.” You do YOU! Sending you much love.

[@FleurPillager]

No one "struggles with anxiety or depression" but millions of people have mental health conditions like Panic Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder which require medical treatment. Some foods can ameliorate mild symptoms but mostly mental health conditions are treated with medicine and evidence based psychotherapies.

[@meggsngrits]

Fleur Bandito my doctor and therapist would beg to differ. I’m not sure what your goal here is, but invalidating people who suffer from anxiety and depression isn’t the way to go about it.

[@jennifermyers2519]

@@FleurPillager Struggling with anxiety and depression is real. I was diagnosed with only anxiety and depression by my mental health professional. Yes I take medicine for it but medicine can only do so much. After watching this video I will be asking my doctor if changeling my diet would help with my anxiety and depression along with my medication I take. Medicine will only subsidies the symptoms. My anxiety and depression will pop up in my day to day life with taken medication only. So if eating more foods that she explain in the video will help while im taking my medication then you better believe ill be changing my diet.

[@FleurPillager]

@@jennifermyers2519 Anxiety Disorders and Mood Disorders are treated with psychotherapy and medication. Little evidence that food alone is an effective treatment except for mild (sub clinical) symptoms. Diet and exercise are important for everyone's general health but doesn't have anything to do with treating Bipolar Disorder, for example.

[@jennifermyers2519]

@@FleurPillager I didn't say food will treat my anxiety and depression alone. I did however say I will be asking my doctor if eating these foods with my medication will help. I know how important to have my medication the doctor gives me. I also know that food is not a treatment either. But if adding these foods and taking out the foods along with taken my meds daily will help more than just taking my meds then its worth the try.

[@ariannemiska7022]

Sandy Candy you are very misguided and I hope that no one reads what you wrote and believes it. Depression is an illness and needs to be treated as such. This can mean therapy, medication etc Just like if your broke your leg you would go to the doctor get pain meds and a cast and guidance with what to do and what not to do. As a believer I will definitely be praying during both of these scenarios. I know that God uses professionals to help us and heal us. Ie God didn’t miraculously heal my leg out of the blue but he did equip the doctor to know how to help me and God was able to be a comfort during this time. The same for depression and other mental health issues. What you are perpetuating is that a real and scientifically proven chemo al problem can simply be prayed/wished away if you simply PRAY enough! This is not only false but damaging to hear both from those within and out of the church and could very well produce drastic consequences for those who heed your advice.

I continue to reason: We feel peaceful while walking through a garden full of flowers. Bees love flowers and produce honey that is very healing for us. If watching the flowers gives us peace, the tea of the flowers can give us peace. Flowers can be excellent resources for the treatment of depression. Bees' source of honey should be our source. Just like the creatures that drink water from the same fountain. Bees need flowers. Life cannot exist without bees. Flowers are the life source of bees. Flowers can be our source of life. Just as honey is a source of life for our health.

Thank You for this video. Im currently trying to get my depression and anxiety in order. ( I was recently diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety a few months ago.) I never considered that the foods I eat could be bad for me. You opened my eyes to something I should as my Doctor about and see if I change my diet maybe that can help me some. But giving up my 4 cups a coffee with 1tbsp of sugar and mocha creamer is going to be hard. Lol I just hope my Coke Zero is not a bad thing to drink lol. Again Thank You for this video. My mental health is very important to me and im definitely going to look into changing my diet and see what my doctor says.

Totally! I have struggled with diagnosed depression and anxiety as well, and my diet really made a difference. Everyone needs something different, but looking at our diet is not going to hurt. I am glad you'll speak with your doctor. Be well!!

Heavy cream is a great subsitutue, and using cinnamon instead of sugar could also help as well as sugar subsitutes. sometimes the cream is enough for me to not even need sugar because it's satisfying.

I came here for the same thing

[@MindOverMunch]

Certainly, emotions are a part of life and don't need to be "controlled," but we can learn to facilitate, understand, manage and regulate them

So idk if any vegetarians will see this, but basically the omega-3s from non-meat sources (ALA) are less bioactive, meaning your body can’t really process it into the stuff it needs as easily. Animal-derived omega-3s (DHA and EPA) are more bioactive, but as a vegetarian I’m not going to consume them. Some brands now source DHA from engineered algae; they contain genes necessary to produce more animal-like omega-3s. Very expensive but worth it for me.

[@iamthatiam7523]

Thank you for sharing! I was just wondering how I can better serve my body more omega 3s without giving into the meat industry.

I can't eat my ASD (which cause me to have more stress) away but I can learn to understand what my body is telling. So I will try to listen more and find better ways to answers it. Which is or can be tricky because my sensory integration problems.. basically I am a grown up with the sensors of a toddler.. so I first have to learn how to read or even FEEL them and then understand what I need to do.. and what to do if not..

So informative! I wanted to share with viewers that this is the kind of content Dr. Gregor puts out on the Nutrition Facts YT channel. He goes over the research on a specific health topic and now has a whole video library going! It's fascinating and has helped my health journey. but it's not as funny and peppy as how Alyssa presents it! 😂
