Good news: Nutrients ease
symptoms of major depression
Curcumin improves rating scores
Major, or clinical, depression causes persist-
ent feelings of sadness, lack of interest, as
well as physical symptoms, and its cause is
unknown. In this study, 60 people with major
depressive disorder took 20 mg of the stan-
dard antidepressant fluoxetine per day, 1,000
mg of the anti-inflammatory curcumin per
day, together or separately.
Those taking curcumin together with fluox-
etine responded positively sooner and in
greater numbers on a standard scale of
depression symptoms than those who took
either curcumin or fluoxetine separately.
After six weeks, the average improvements
were similar in all three groups.
Discussing their findings, doctors said cur-
cumin is safe and that, “People with depres-
sion have higher levels of inflammation in the
brain, and make fewer new brain cells than
people with no history of depression,” con-
tinuing, “Curcumin is both a potent anti-
inflammatory agent and powerful stimulator
for new brain cells.”

Fatty acid balance important in
depression.
Doctors know that omega-3 fatty acid lev-
els are lower in those with major depressive
disorder, and wanted to know more about a
link to anxiety.
In this study, doctors measured omega-3
and omega-6 levels in 18 participants with
major depressive disorder, 41 with anxiety
disorders, and in 62 healthy volunteers.
Compared to healthy participants, those with
major depressive disorder, and those with
anxiety, had lower EPA and DHA levels as
well as higher omega-6 levels compared to
omega-3. Doctors increasingly believe that
omega-6 is often too high in relation to
omega-3, and that keeping these two fatty
acids closer in balance is an important factor
in physical and mental health.

2013, Vol. 74, No. 7, 732-8
If depression and/or anxiety is a concern,
one should increase the level of omega-3 oils
by eating more fish or taking EPA/DHA sup-
plements while, at the same time, decreasing
one’s intake of omega-6 oils, especially those
found in meat and dairy fats.
A diet rich in omega 3 and monounsaturat-
ed oils, such as the “mediterranean” diet and
lower in animal fats has been shown to bene-
fit health in many ways.
