Depression and Mental Health

Depression and Mental Illness are Rampant

Over the last decade, more and more people have experienced mental illnesses, millions worldwide. We understand the profound impact these conditions have on individuals, families, and communities. With compassionate care and evidence-based treatments, our goal is to provide comprehensive support to those navigating the complexities of depression and mental illness.

Oral Nutritional Supplements to treat Depression

We understand the importance of a holistic approach to managing depression and anxiety. While nutrients alone are not a cure, they can play a vital role in supporting mood and overall well-being when used alongside conventional treatments. Our practice offers personalised guidance on incorporating key supplements and nutrients into your diet to complement your therapy and medication regimen:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fatty fish and supplements, omega-3s can help stabilise mood.
B Vitamins: Crucial for neurotransmitter function, B vitamins are abundant in leafy greens, legumes, and fortified cereals.
Zinc: This essential mineral is involved in neurotransmitter function and has been linked to mood regulation. Foods rich in zinc include seafood, lean meats, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Zinc is essential for balancing copper in our bodies.
Magnesium: Deficiency in this mineral has been linked to mood disorders; incorporate nuts, seeds, and leafy greens into your diet.
Probiotics: Supporting gut health may alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety; try fermented foods or supplements.
Vitamin D: Sunlight exposure and certain foods like fatty fish can boost your vitamin D levels, potentially improving mood.
Amino Acids: Precursors to neurotransmitters, amino acids found in protein-rich foods can impact mood regulation.
