Depression is one of the most common reasons patients go to visit their doctors, especially during the Winter months. As a result, antidepressants are one of the most widely prescribed medications today. Using a whole-food, nutrient-dense, plant-based diet has been very successful in treating patients with mild to moderate depression. Dr. Michael Greger explains in the 6-minute video below how antidepressants work and how plant foods can produce similar results without harmful side effects.
