I developed severe, suicidal depression many years ago. It had a physical cause. My body wasn't stabilizing my mood. And mood regulation is a biochemical process. I eventually traced it to five foods I was eating that gave me severe depression. One of them also gave me inexplicable back pains, unlocalized, and another also gave me asthma attacks. As long as I avoided them I was fine. But I wasn't cured. One day I had profound fatigue. If I walked a few steps I was out of breath. The doc thought I had COPD. But these symptoms came on suddenly, and what usually comes on suddenly is an infection. I didn't feel my sinuses hurting, but they were tender. I told the doc I had a sinus infection. He believed me and gave me three courses of powerful antibiotics. Antibiotics screw up your gut bacteria. But I had no choice. I took them for three weeks. The fatigue left the next day. The sinus infection took a bit longer. Somehow I knew I could eat whaever I wanted. Sure enough, I had no more depresion since.
